My Grandma





Last Friday night my Grandma Fresh passed away. She was 95 years old and lived a great life. Her funeral was today and the weather was beautiful. Most of the grandkids made it back to Emmett for the funeral. It was a quick trip but so nice to be there will all my family and see cousins that I haven't see for years. Families are so great!!!

Every year she would come down to AZ and spend several months with her children. While we were living with my parents for 2 years we got to spend lots of time with Grandma. My kids got to know her really well and she adored the great grandkids. She always smiled and giggled. We have great memories of her. Here are few of my favorite pictures of us together. I am so glad that she is finally able to give up her old body and mind and be herself again. We love you Grandma and will miss your laughter.


She was just certain that her oxygen machine would explode if Kaleb played with it. It was a constant battle to keep him from turning it off and on and playing with the tubing attatched to Grandma.


Grandma Dot fixed Katelyn and Grandma's hair in rollers and they were keeping eachother company on the porch while their hair dried.



Grandma loved to swing Kaleb and would swing him right to sleep.



Every year she left to go back to Idaho we were certain she wouldn't make it another year so my mom would have us take our "last" pictures with her every year. This really was the last picture my kids have with her.

I totally remember Grandma Fresh! She was so cute - how sweet that she got to know your kids before she left this life -

I love the picture of Katelyn and Grandma in their rollers!! And yes living with that oxygen was quite an experience.
