Virginia's Great Gram

Some sad news to report... Virginia's great grandmother, Jane Mack ("Gram"), passed away on November 17. We feel so blessed that in Virginia's short 19 month life, she got to take three trips to Connecticut to meet and spend time with Gram. Virginia was Gram's first great grandchild, so I know she was thrilled to see another generation of her family taking the world by storm. Gram was 93 and had 7 kids and 14 grandkids! She lived an amazingly full life, and we will miss her dearly.

The memorial service was scheduled for the Friday after Thanksgiving, so Thomas and I scheduled a last minute trip for all of us to go to Connecticut. Nearly everyone in Gram's very large family was able to attend, so we really enjoyed getting to spend time with the Mack clan. It was so nice to spend the holiday together and recount our favorite Gram memories. Virginia took every opportunity she could to keep spirits high - she was entertaining the crowd with the best of them and appeared to be totally unbothered by the dozens of aunts, uncles, and cousins surrounding her at all times.
