This is a picture taken when we moved our family into Josh's Great Grandma Melva's house in March 2009. She had just recently moved into an apartment in town (at age 95!WOW!) from this farm that she had taken residence for 70 years. She was able to visit us at her farm 3 times in the past 3 years. She enjoyed walking through the garden and giving me advice on how to prune the grape bushes. Melva is in the middle with her two daughters on her sides (Josh's Grandma in the purple). 98 years of life and she now resides with Jesus! We are so happy for her!
The funeral is Saturday morning. If you think of our family, please pray. It is bitter-sweet to say Good-Bye to a loved one. Thank you, Lord, for moving us here to live in her home and to have the opportunity to show our kids the legacy of their Great, Great Grandma--we are forever changed! She was truly a sweetheart and the BEST at making Banana Cream pie...WOW-tears.....
