Grandma

We got word this morning of the passing of Grandma Asplund.

Although we knew her health was failing, it just didn't

prepare any of us for this sad news.

The hardest was when I finally got to talk to

my parents and to see my dad's eyes filled with tears.

I just can't say enough, how grateful I am that we made

it to Canada last fall to be with her and the

Asplund Family to celebrate the 90th birthday of this beautiful,

amazing woman. It wasn't an easy trip for any

of us, and it wouldn't have been possible

without the tremedous help of my parents.

But it was soo worth!

My kids still talk about our trip to

CANADA all the time. I am so glad

they got to meet her and now have fond

memories to hold dear. At dinner tonight I talked with the kids about the passing

of Great Grandma. And as sad as we all felt, we

agreed she is peaceful now, in Heaven WITH

Great Grandpa.
My sister Karli, who is soo eloquent with words,

shared a beautiful tribute to my grandma.

I could never express it the way she did.

So go to her blog and read what an amazing

grandma we have. No wonder we have such

an incredible father!

Leah Asplund was and is a woman to

cherish and remember with fondness!
