So today was not an easy day. Early September we found out that my grandma wasn't doing very well. I took a trip with Julian's family to go visit her. It was a great visit. On Wednesday we found out that she had only a few days left on this earth. All five of us Warren children, dad and Alia left at 2pm yesterday to try to say goodbye. Last night she could hear us but didn't respond. This morning when I got there I told her that my mom was on her way and her eyes opened. She still couldn't respond but you could tell she was listening. We got to say our goodbyes and then came back early this morning. We lost our last grandparent on this earth at about 6pm tonight. It is hard, however, I wouldn't have wanted her to suffer. She was comfortable and was able to see all of her grandchildren and children last night.

Grandma has four children Mom, Johnny, Debby and Sue. She has all four of them wrapped around her finger. Especially mom. Mom was so dedicated to her mother. For the last couple of years since she retired she has spent at least a week there every month. Sometimes 2 weeks. It always felt good to know that my grandma was in good hands. Grandma was kinda a joker and gave mom a hard time for making her walk or taking her medicine but deep down inside she appreciated it.

This is a picture of me and grandma last
Christmas right before we left to come home. I look a little white trash, however it is the only picture I have on my computer of grandma. Jacob isn't in the picture because he had to work.

Nicole's family at Grandmas house. Grandma loved spending time with her Great Grandchildren and they loved to spend time with her also.

Denise and Mile with Grandma (Alia was there, she was just in Denise's belly).

Danielle this post is amazing. Grandma loved us all and she knew we were there even if she couldn't respond. She knew you thought she was beautiful yesterday. We all thought she was even if it didn't show on the out side. She's always been our beautiful grandma on the inside. We love you guys!!
