Our family had a sorrowful July with the passing of Mama Lou and my great Uncle Roy on the same day. My heart hurts from Mama Lou's sister who lost her sister and husband on the same day. I can't even imagine the pain of that. Although, we are still numb from those few weeks and sometimes don't believe it's real. I was blessed to spend a lot of time with her all my life. Her funeral was a celebration of her life lived as a christian woman. Brad Atkins did an amazing job. She loved buying things not only for herself, but for everyone else too. She was dearly missed at all of our birthdays in July. She would have been so upset to know that she messed up and missed all our birthdays. But I know she hasn't thought twice about it since she walked through those pearly gates! We were blessed that every family member was present with her when she took her last breath. She wasn't alone and I know Grandaddy was waiting at the gates for her. I will leave you with the last video and pictures I have of her from Easter. Cherish your Grandparents everyday you have with them! They may get on your nerves sometimes, but they will not be here forever.
