My grandmother, Pauline Edgar Bay, passed away January 29, 2015. She was 85 years old. We knew that she wouldn't live much longer because her health has been declining greatly in the last few years. I am grateful that she passed away before we moved to Spain so I could attend her funeral. It was a beautiful funeral with Cheyenne giving her life sketch. She did an amazing job. My father did a reflection and Eric (Be Still my Soul) and Erin (Families Can Be Together Forever) each played a hymn on the piano. We had to leave before the dedication of her grave because we had a 6 1/2 hour drive home through some bad weather. It was wonderful to see Bob and his family and Robin and her family. I haven't seen some of them for many years.
Some favorite memories of my grandmother:
She parked her RV outside our home when visiting and I would go out for some yummy sour dough pancakes before school.
She would do jungle breakfasts with us. She hung breakfast foods like little boxes of cereal and milk from the tree and we'd have to go out and "pick" our breakfast.
She made me several things like Raggedy and Andy dolls and dresses when I was a little girl.
I remember sleepovers at her house and picking more blackberries than I can possibly eat.
I also enjoyed going to her home when she lived close by for dinner after church.
I will miss her loving smile but I am so happy that she can now rest and be back with grandpa.
