My grandparents have been two of the greatest examples in my life. This morning I lost my grandma. She helped me become the person that I am today. I am going to miss hearing her laugh-you could hear it from a mile away and you couldn't help but start laughing yourself. I am going to miss seeing her enter a room with a different shirt on every time she came in because she couldn't keep the shirt she had on clean. I am going to miss hearing her tell stories about Dedham and about Fish Friday. I am going to miss going to Jackson Hole with her. I am going to miss hearing her tell me how wonderful she thinks I am and that she prays for me. I am going to miss having her in the congregation everytime I play the violin. I am really going to miss watching my grandma and grandpa go walking hand in hand every day. I am so lucky to have had such a wonderful grandmother who loved her family so much and created so many wonderful memories for all of us to cherish. I am so thankful she was able to be such an important part of my life. I can't imagine living life without her. I am so grateful to know that families are forever and that we will be able to see her again.

I'm so sorry Sara. I always thought your grandparents were so cute walking around the neighborhood holding hands too. What good examples! It's so nice to know that they will be together again someday. Let me know if there's anything I can do.
You have also done a great tribute like Amy, Jamie, Tiffany, and your dad. It is not an easy thing to read these but they are still good. Hang in there and hopefully we can all help each other get through this!
We are so blessed to know that we will be able to see our loved ones again. I am sorry to hear about your loss. You will be in our prayers. I hope all goes well.

I am so sorry to hear about your grandmother. Losing someone we care about so much is such a difficult thing to go through. I hope that you are doing okay. Hopefully you can spend time with family to help you feel better. We will keep you in our prayers!
Sara...I am so sorry about your loss. I am so glad though that you are back in Utah to be around family right now...I'm sure that is a blessing in itself to be able to be together when you have all had such a loss. She sounds like an amazing woman to have for a grandmother. Take care and we'll be thinking about you!
Sara, hey this is Crystal Jones. I am so sorry to hear about your Grandmother, she sounded awesome. Even though we miss you dearly in VA, it is a very good thing that you are in UT with your family. There is nothing like having family around in times like these. Know that you and your family are in our prayers back in VA and that we love you and will be thinking of you.
It was so nice to see you and Jared and the boys. You and Jamie did such a beautiful job at the funeral. I know your Grandma was very pleased. We hope to see you again very soon under better circumstances of course.
I'm sorry to hear about your loss, Sara. What a great tribute you wrote about her - it made me get teary-eyed. Aren't you glad for that kind of relationship? I want that for my kids too, so that's why I am so anxious to move back to Logan. You were lucky to have such a great example. What a great lady!!
I'm sorry that your Grandma passed away. It's hard knowing you can't see someone - for a while. She sounds like a wonderful person.
