She was 83 and had been suffering from lung cancer for the last three years, and had decided to end the chemotherapy. She passed away at home, with both her children, all five of her grandchildren, and her three great-grandchildren all at her bedside.
It was a good end, and it was on her own terms.
She was a pretty amazing lady. I grew up in her house, and she was the one who taught me how to sew, and really taught me most of the stuff I write about here. Mostly, she just taught me to be fearless.

Sorry for your loss- your grandmother was a beautiful woman and it sounds like she lived a full life with lots of love surrounding her. Thanks for sharing the pics.
I am so sorry. The pictures of her are great and you look like her in the one with the drinks in front.
Sincerest sympathy to you. It's difficult always, losing someone you love. My grandmother was a major force in my young life. She's been gone 23 years and I still miss her and think about her.

My deepest sympathies, Michelle. Thanks for sharing the beautiful pictures, and don't forget that you'll always carry her with you, in your heart.
Sorry about your grandmother...
I think you have her wonderful smile. Losing the ones we love the most and who have taught us so many things about life and passions is difficult. But I have learned that precious memories of them can be oh so comforting throughout those days they are no longer with us here and that those precious ones are always with us in our heart!
It is always a sad time when a loved one passes away. Thanks for sharing a little bit of her with us. My thoughts are with you.
Sorry for you loss. I agree with Linda T that you have your grandmother's smile!
You have my condolences, very nice pictures.
My God give you comfort in your time of mourning.
My Grandmother was dear to me also and I was quite sad when she passed away 10 years ago.
Aw, sorry to hear that. Thanks for showing us a glimpse of your grandmother.
