97 yrs old
Posted on June 13th, 2007 by admin
My great grandmother (my grandpa’s mom) passed away 2 nights ago. She was 97 yrs old. Because of Alzheimer’s, she hadn’t recognized anyone in about the last 8 or 9 yrs. Lived alone here on the farm until Alzheimer’s took her mind and memory. Strongest woman I’ve ever known…”farm stock”… I think she was 85 or 86 when she got bit by a snake while working in the yard. Alone and 3 miles from town - I woulda freaked the fuck out! Not her though - she killed the snake, put it in a 5 gal bucket, and drove herself to the emergency room. When I was a kid, I rode my horse to her house every day to sit on the porch with her and drink home made coke floats.
My grandpa, my mom, Hannah, and me - we’re all that’s left of our family.
Sorry for the loss of your great grandmum.I hope your grandpop is enjoying his westerns.Take care.
Very sorry for your loss.

Very sorry to hear that your family is once again saddened.
That last line, for some reason, brought tears to my eyes.
Thoughts and prayers with you.
