Our family lost our Grandma Cori
on Monday. She battled a few months of lung cancer and after a bad fall that broke her hip and her arm she stopped fighting. What my kids remember most about her is the school bus she drove :-) even though she had been retired for many years from that they remember the few special times they got to ride with her on her school bus. I have many great memories of her mostly as a child, as she helped watch us while my mom worked. I remember the robe she used to wear around the house, all the sun-tea she would make and drink, her TV shows she always would watch, all the books she read, and even the big wooden paddle she had beside her recliner she loved the threaten to use on us. I loved random dinners with her at Sizzlers in Nampa one of her favorite places to go, and I remember my mom and I taking her to Shopko to get a new sweater or pair of pants. She never ever forgot to send me a birthday card on my birthday and I called her every year on her birthday. She was sometimes a mean grumpy old lady, she was a great cook, funny in her ways, but she loved us and we sure loved her and we will miss her so so much.
We celebrated her life at my mom's house last night with so many friends and family. We each got a balloon and sent a message high in the sky for her. I hope they all reached her safely.
Cole wrote on his balloon... Grandma I hope you have a good time in heaven. Cole
