Grandma Renee



My Grandma passed away last week.  I was looking around this morning and her influence is everywhere.  Erik’s pillowcase on his bed was made by my Grandma along with the official baby blanket that each child still has in their room.  Then there are the embroidered table clothes, plus the dish towels, wall hangings and our wedding quilt.  I like having the reminders.

Multiple people have mentioned the loyalty and bond between my grandparents and how when you say their names together 'Gib and Renee' it isn't three words but one word.  GibandRenee.  They were married for 68 years.

My grandparents are in the background.
