New Year

Happy New Year!

Unfortunately, this New Year was a sad one for us. Roddy's grandmother, Mary, passed away a few days ago. She had been sick for only a few days and when they brought her to the emergency room that night, she died with her husband and daughters holding her hands. Dan read her the rosary right before; I think she knew and they all knew at that point.

We just wish we had been there.

The whole family is devastated; when Rod and I heard, we cried for a day straight, and have intermittently since then. Roddy had to go out for a run a few minutes after the initially got off the phone with Pop, because his emotions were raging. It just came so unexpectedly.

Now we're all remembering wonderful times with her and getting through it with support from each other. The memorial service isn't going to be for another few weeks, I guess, as there are many family members from all over who Pop wants to be able to get down to Essex to the church for the service.

Rest in peace, Grammie. We love you, miss you, and will always think of you.
