My dear Grandma passed away today on her 81st birthday. She is my Dad's mom. Grandma and Grandpa Call lived down the street about 3 houses away from us while growing up so I have many many memories of Grandma. Most of all I remember just playing at her house with my cousins. We had a great time. I remember playing in Grandma's sandbox, playing her piano, playing in her basement, and I remember the taste of her tunafish sandwiches. Grandma taught us cousins cooking lessons and needlepoint and how to clean. I remember going to visit Grandma and Grandpa so excited to announce that Robert and I were getting married. So many things I will have to write a little at a time.
Grandma most of all loved her family, loved the gospel of Jesus Christ, there is no doubt in my mind that she has a testimony. She was dedicated to temple service and I am so glad that I was able to have her as an example in my life. It was a blessing to be able to spend some time with her last Sunday as the Bishopric brought over the Sacrament to her. There was a overwhelming Spirit with us in that room as we sang an opening song - "I Stand All Amazed". It was a memory that I will charish. I love you Grandma!

I am so sorry. I loved your grandma! My mom just told me that she had cancer, so I was so surprised to hear that she passed away. Was it related to the cancer? I hope you are doing okay. Love ya.
Sorry to hear she passed away. What a double edge sword life and death are. Thank goodness for the gospel in our lives, I don't know how people cope without it. Love to you and your family.
