We Will Miss "Alice the Great"

O's Great Grandmother died this morning.  She was 95 years old.  We liked to refer to her as "Alice the Great",  a name O's cousins lovingly tagged her after watching an episode of "Little Bill".  

She lived a long life.  Her favorite past times were creating beautiful flower arrangements, gardening, painting with watercolors, farming, varmint hunting and cooking for her family.  

She took great satisfaction in killing moles with her a shovel when they ate her garden.  

She was a funny woman who withstood the task of raising five ornery men, one being my loving father-in-law.  God Bless her!  She will be missed greatly!  Kindergarten SUCKS!

  2. So weird - Elizabeth's great grandmother died on Monday morning - she was 95. It's really just a celebration at this point because after you live that long and see that much, and your life isn't as fulfilling because of pain, it seems that she is where she wants to be.
