On July 8th my Aunt Gayle passed away. It was really hard news because Josh and I were planning to go see her the day we heard the news. She had been struggling with dementia for a couple months but went down hill really quickly that last week. I wasn't able to say goodbye and I wish I would have been able to!She was an incredible woman. She was always smiling and happy and had a positive attitude no matter what was going on. She was always active in the church and was an incredible example to all who knew her. She was so talented and made beautiful blessing dresses for all of her granddaughters. She always visited us on Christmas and showered us with hugs and kisses. She was so kind to Josh and I because the first doily she made for our wedding present was stolen when our car was broken in to, but a few weeks later she had made us another one. It's so pretty and we have it displayed in our apartment.
I am so grateful to be apart of her family and to have felt her Spirit. She will be dearly missed! I'm also grateful that I was able to take the day off work so Josh and I could attend the funeral. It was a wonderful tribute to her and although it was a sad situation, we were able to see a lot of family that we hadn't seen in a long time. It was a day filled with love. Love you Aunt Gayle! See you soon!
