Losing an incredible Mother, Grandmother and Friend
















I haven't blogged for awhile, mostly because we were dealing with the loss of Todd's Mom. It came on very suddenly, but the cancer returned and ravaged her bone marrow - we lost her within 4 days of learning that her cancer had returned. Since her death on August 24th, we have been dealing with the affects on the children, ourselves and Jim by spending a lot of time together. She was a brave, incredibly giving woman - who battled this cancer for 10 years, enduring countless treatments and 2 stem cell transplants. We find some peace in knowing that those years she spent here with us have provided us many, many special memories. The woman known to us as Grandma Jane, Mom and my friend is dearly missed.
Here are a few pictures from some of the fun and special memories we have with Grandma Jane.

I'm so glad you posted those pictures. She loved your family so much and I'm sure that those wonderful moments with your family meant a lot to her. She will be missed. --Mom
