Grandma Benjamin

This post is a little late in coming, but my dear, sweet 91 year old grandma passed away in April.  She lived a good, long life and was ready to reunite with her many loved ones on the other side.  We shared some wonderful memories of her at her funeral. 

She loved swimming in cousin Chelle's lake, even if she did need help getting up and down the hill, and in and out of the water.  Surrounded by her great-grandkids, her most prized possessions.

 She loved celebrating her birthday, here she is at her 89th.


 All the Asay grandkids that were in town for her 89th.
 Happy 90th...a huge surprise party was planned later in the week, but I didn't take any pictures that day :-(
 On the way to her funeral, we had breakfast at her favorite hangout...Hardee's.  It may sound weird, but she spent MANY years right in that booth and had many friends from there.  She loved when we come in and she could introduce us to her friends.

We got to meet for the first time Derek's new baby, Elise, who they adopted last summer from China.  So adorable.

We miss Grandma, but know she is in a better place.
