Goodbye to Great-Grandma Schmitt

On July 9, 2011, Great-Grandma Schmitt joined Great-Grandpa in heaven. I will miss her dearly. She was a tremendously important person to me as I was growing up, and I will always remember the sound of her laugh, her wonderful cooking, her love for God and her family. I hope that my life will be as well-lived as hers was!







We went down to Quincy for her funeral and enjoyed more wonderful times with extended family. Madeline and Evie enjoyed the hotel- especially riding the luggage cart!

Even though we won't be taking trips to Quincy to visit Great-Grandma anymore, we still plan on continuing our visits, and a big family reunion is planned for next July!
