As our extended family gathered to share memories and celebrate her life, my sister, aunt and I took on the task of creating three photo memory boards, to tell just a little bit of her life story. It was difficult, but pretty therapeutic. And lots of fun to see Grandma's life in pictures.
Here are a few of my favorites:
 |
| Margaret Edith Meyers High School Graduation Picture |
 |
| Margaret & Charles Coonce; Linda, Jim & Tim Easter, 1965 (?) |
This one I love for several reasons: the pink coat, the closed eyes, my Grandpa's flat-top haircut, my mom's amazing hat and glasses, and my uncle Jim's open fly. Classic 60's Easter photo.

Even until the very end, Grandma was smiling and full of joy. My last conversation with her was about the Sunday sermon I had just heard, and music. Grandma's faith and the many ways she showed her love for our family will never be forgotten.

I've been thinking of you this week, Megan. Glad you could be with your family during this hard time. I'm often envious of people who have such close relationships with their grandparents and am so glad you were blessed with knowing each other into your adulthood. What a glorious day it will be when you are reunited with her in the end.
We've been thinking of you as well, Megan. Hope this time has been full of peace for you and your family, albeit difficult. Thanks for sharing the pictures. You're right, what a beautiful smile!
