In Loving Memory of Grandma Byington

{DECEMBER 29, 2008}

Todd's Grandma Byington passed away on Christmas Day, and her funeral was held on December 29, 2009. She had been sick for so long, I cannot imagine the wonderful reunion she had with Grandpa (he died when Todd was four). I hear her talk of him a couple of times, and I know she loved and missed him so much. We will miss going out to visit her -- she was such a spunky lady!

At her funeral they talked about what a hard worker she was -- she really did have a hard farm life. But she played just as hard as she worked. The first time I met Grandma was at a family reunion when Todd and I were engaged. Someone threw a freezing cold glass of water down my back and immediately everyone blamed Grandma. I couldn't believe that they all could point fingers at such a sweet old lady. Boy was I wrong! She loved a good water fight!

We will miss you Grandma! Love you!
