Dena's grandmother passed away around 7:30pm last evening, after a long and fruitful life.
She experienced loss in her life, notably the passing of Dena's mom at the young age of 36. Yet I always knew her as someone with an enthusiastic and welcoming spirit.
She lived most of her life in Vandalia, Illinois, a quiet town with close friends and an independent lifestyle.
Whenever Dena and I came to visit there was always company, card games and chocolate chip cookies. She laughed a lot and shared a sharp wit that made her delightful to talk with.
I'm glad to be part of her family. We'll miss her, but also reflect her in the upbeat way we live our own lives in tribute to her.
