Grandma Dort

We had to make an unexpected trip to Canada last week because we lost a very special and important member of the family: Grandma Dort. If you have followed along with us for awhile, you already know about some of our happy memories with her, but all you really need to know about her is summed up in these photos and a few words by Andrew:  

Even at 91, my grandmother read at church. She collected stamps. She played bridge with her friends. She cooked for Meals on Wheels. She walked her block. She hung laundry on the line. She visited every Christmas. Those simple, little things fulfilled her life. We already miss her dearly. 

 

 

(Notice who's leading the pack!)

She loved her family and friends, and she loved life. We could always count on her for a few encouraging words, and she was so supportive of our relationship. We're so thankful that we had a great visit with her at Christmas and especially grateful that we had the chance to visit her in Montreal last August.

 So, here's to you, Dort! You were a great lady.
