We love you, Grandma Bernice!

Kallen's wonderful grandmother passed away in November.  She was diagnosed with lung cancer in September.  It was all very sudden and very sad.  We were able to go down and see her about a week before she passed away and I'm so glad we made the trip.  I can honestly say that she is one of the most amazing women I've ever met.  She was so loving and giving and accepting.  I know she must be smiling down on us- we will miss you Grandma!!


Isn't she beautiful?
