Great Grandma Waters



On May 22 my Great Grandma Waters passed away in Idaho Falls ID. She live a long 92 years. She was married to my Great Grandpa for 74 years and 10 months. As sad as I am, it was a good thing. She has been fighting with Alzheimer's and dementia for the last few years. Heavenly Father decided that she fought long enough. I'm so happy for eternal families and knowing that I will be able to see her again.

While we were up in Idaho we were able to meet up with Brandon's last mission companion. They were AP's together. It was fun to get to hang out with him and his cute family. We went mini golfing ,rode go karts and the boys rode the buck-a-roo! Thanks Edstrom family for a fun time. Also thanks Uncle Pete and Aunt Darleen for a place to stay and all the wonderful food!!!

Okay, seriously? those two grown "men" strapped to that seesaw is hilarious. the fact that they had little seatbelts is awesome.BTW you look totally hot and I love the one of you guys kissing. Miss you.

How fortunate that you still had a great grandma alive to be part of your life until now. My kids have already lost their grandpa, and never really knew most of their greats. You're never really ready to let them go no matter how old they get. Be happy she's in a better place. But it is sad that your g grandpa has to be alone after 74 years! That's pretty amazing. Not very mnay people get to have that many years together!
