My Grandmother, Christine C. Blake, passed away on saturday morning, July 28, 2007. How do I even express in words my love for her? I was privileged to live next door to my grandma for several years. It was great to be able to talk to my grandmother about the past and to hear her stories. We did get to spend a lot of time together of which I'm so grateful.
When I was younger, my grandma and grandpa lived up in National City which is in the Huron National forest near Tawas, Michigan. We often went to grandma's house and had a lot of fun exploring her woods. She loved to sew and I remember her making me this beautiful blue dress. Of course, I also remember that if I stuck my fingers in the cookie dough we were making, she would threaten to throw the whole thing away! (haha) She was the best grandma ever....always there for me. I'm so thankful that she knew the Lord and is with Him now. I'm a little jealous since she has now seen my brother too. I'm thankful to know that she will no longer feel the immense pain that she was suffering from in her final days, and I will again see her someday.
I had to include the picture below of my grandma with a backwards ball cap on. The ONLY reason she would of done that and had her picture taken is because TOM put the hat on her. She loved him so much and would say to me, "Mandy, you've got a good one."
