On Wednesday April 8, 2009, in the early hours of the morning, Thomas's Great-Grandmother left the earth as we know to return to her maker in Heaven. Grandmother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer the same week Thomas was born. I will forever cherish her and Grandfather's visit to the hospital to see the tiny Thomas and these photos. These photos were from the last time Grandmother held my first-born as the pain soon became too great to handle.

When I saw Grandmother Wednesday morning I was able to give her a size huge hug without hurting her for the first time in months. The look of peace which covered her face put us at ease knowing she had gone to Heaven and no longer had to suffer. She will be forever missed and remembered as a loving daughter, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. We love you.

4 Generations.

  1. Tori,

    So sorry to hear about your grandmother. I know she will be missed, but I hope you can find comfort in the fact that she is in heaven free of pain!

    Just wanted to let you know that we are following your blog to keep up with the "little man." He is darling!
