Had a purple sink
A polka-dotted car that wouldn’t go very far
She had an orange duck that couldn't even quack
Now isn't this a silly song
So what do you think of that that that that? What do you think of that?
My grandma passed away last Tuesday morning. She made up that song when we were kids and used to sing it to us. The grandchildren (over 20 of us) got up and sang it on Saturday at her funeral. The funeral was really nice. I'm so glad we were able to go up to Utah for it, even if we were only there for 48 hours.
This is a picture of my Grandma Betty & Grandpa Kenny on their wedding day in front of their first home here in Westchester, CA. My Grandma missed my Grandpa so much. He died about 14 years ago and she could not wait to be reunited with him. It’s hard to feel sorrow for her because you know she is on cloud nine, just thrilled to be with her parents, sister & sweetheart again. Finally.
This is my Grandma with her Mother, my Great-Grandma Ava. She lived to be 100 and died only a few years ago. We would always tell my Grandma she could live for another 15 years (she was not so thrilled at the prospect!)
My Grandma used to work for a company called the “Automatic Screw Machine Co.” We all thought that was so funny. I need to make shirts that say that. Here she is on the right, working hard! Grandma was the queen of corn, as in corny jokes. And she had the most hilarious laugh. I was telling Henry about coming to Utah and the funeral and I asked him what he remembered about Grandma, and he said she was the one that had the M&M’s. The woman loved chocolate and turquoise. She had turquoise carpet. It gave her warm fuzzies. We are going to miss her but have comfort in knowing that she was not taken one second before her time. We love you!

We drove back home today and have the burial tomorrow. It's been so good to be around family and celebrate the life of my Grandmother. She was loved and we miss her already.
