Grandma Stromness

Today is a sad day. Pernell's sweet Grandma Stromness past away this afternoon. She had a bad stoke on Wednesday, and never recovered. She passed away in a hospice this afternoon with family around her.

This woman knew how to stretch a dollar like no one else I ever have met. She was very kind and sweet and never judged or said a bad thing about anyone, ever. And believe me, there were times she could have! She led a very simple life with her husband, and they married for 60 years this past March. Amazing!!

This picture was taking in July of 2006. The girls adored her and we had such a good visit. We are waiting to hear about the funeral arrangements and then we will head out to Utah. We are excited to see the entire family, despite the circumstances.

Tonight I drink a glass of eggnog in her honor. She did, after all, make the best eggnog ever.
