Grandma Donna...

This past Tuesday (August 9th) we said goodbye to Trav's grandma Donna. Trav was able to be with his Grandma and his family the weekend before. No words seem to be fitting for this blog to describe the emotion and the void she leaves in our hearts. We all wish for more time with her but also know that the Lord is the determiner of our days. She was wonderful. Witty, funny, laid back, warm and extremely loving.
She also called some of us girls by funny names when she first met us.
Tana: "That Girl" 
Me: "Suzy"
Logan: "Hogan"
In the end, she got all our names right, and captured our hearts. She was the type of Lady that lit up a room. You wanted to be near her. You looked forward to seeing her.
Some of my favorite times with Grandma Donna took place on walks around the park when we were visiting them in Oregon. I enjoyed hearing her stories or whatever she was talking about that day.  She always had a treat for Lady (Trav's parents dog) in her pocket. I will ask Trav and Logan their favorite memory about her tomorrow and post it in the comments. There is so much I don't want to forget.

If you knew Grandma Donna, what is your favorite memory???? Do share and leave a comment below. 

We love and miss you Grandma Donna.
