RIP Grandma White

As all of you likely know, Grandma White passed away yesterday morning (10/27). Granny Morgan & Susie have been busy making phone calls and all the necessary arrangements. They got her obituary into the local paper, and it is online today. Here's the link:

It's awe-inspiring to think that this morning's sunrise was the first one in 36,852 days that Grandma White wasn't alive for. She had a long life filled with both blessings and loss, and I hope that she now is resting in peace.

We all got together and had supper together last night and shared stories. Granny is doing quite well and was even back at the nursing home yesterday afternoon, receiving an outpouring of support from the staff and other residents and volunteering to help out. She, Terry, and Susie will make the trip back to Spirit Lake, IA, on Saturday for Grandma White's burial.

I have a few pictures of Grandma White from her years here in Lodi. I thought I'd share a couple. If anyone else has pictures or stories they'd like to share, send them on, and I will get them posted!
