It has been a wonderful holiday season but right before Christmas we received the sad news that my Great Grandma Jolly passed away at the age of 102. I felt very lucky to have gotten to see her at Thanksgiving and that Hayden had a chance to meet her. As my relatives know she sure loves the little ones. She left a large posterity behind and we will miss her greatly. Her posterity includes 11 children, 62 grandchildren, 225 great-grandchildren, and 175 great-great grandchildren.
It is peaceful to know that families can be together forever and that she had a great Christmas reunion with those that had gone before her.
Here is a link to a cute article about her life.

I also went down to the funeral and enjoyed hearing the great stories about her. I have so many great ladies to look up to in my life.

Sorry about the delayed comment. I was sorry to hear about your Great Grandma. What a wonderful blessing it must have been to know her and for Hayden to have met his great great grandma. So many accomplishments she had. Sounds like an amazing lady.
