My Grandma was my biggest inspiration my entire life. She helped raise me from when I was born in till now. After my Grandma got diagnosed with COPD I knew it was my turn to be the one to be by her side. With hospices help training me in on her sickness I found myself caring for her around the clock along with the help of others. We spent days baking, cooking, and doing chores around the house. If it wasn’t right she would have me do it again in till it’s to her standards. We spent a lot of time talking and laughing about old stories and I’m so thankful I got to spend that time with her. She was a great Grandma, Best Friend and Mom to me. I loved her so much and she will be missed.
I have many special memories of good times with Terry and her family, but I guess the most memorable ones are of how much she loved her family. Terry gave her love so generously to her girls her sisters her parents her husband and most lately her wonderful Grandchildren. She was so proud to be their Grandmother. Terry and I became really really close fiends the morning she talked me thru my first labor pains at about 5:00AM on a Sat. morning about 40 years ago. As Ding would say, we all get to talk to JC in our own way one day. I’m sure Terry’s was a good conversation.
