Here is my sweet Grandma, Lena Hodgson Andersen and me in May of this year. This was the last time I saw her when she knew who I was. This summer she was very confused with who everyone was and she kept getting very sick. She just turned on 90 on the 13th of October. Last Tuesday, October 28, she passed away. Although I will miss her very much, I'm so happy that she is with my Grandpa now, forever! That's his picture behind me. She has missed him for nearly 20 years and I'm sure it was a joyous reunion. I was able to go to the funeral (thanks to my brother in law, Steve!) in Salt Lake this past Saturday, November 1st. It was a beautiful funeral. She would've loved the music and talked about it for weeks. I got to speak for a few mintues along with 3 of my other cousins and my sister who wrote her a beautiful poem. I talked about three of the things I learned from my grandma. Of course I learned more than 3. She taught me to Support your spouse, Love your siblings and Don't miss out on the little things. I have so many wonderful memories of her. I think the one that is most special to me is that she was in the delivery room with me when I had Emalee. That was the only time she saw a baby born. She always got choked up when she talked about it. I'm thankful she was there. She loved me and I loved her. Although I will miss her, I can't help but be happy for her that she is with Grandpa again. He was an absolutely wonderful man too. I'm thankful that families are forever. I know I will see her again. I'll miss you Grandma. Sleep well. I love you forever!
