RIP Grandma Reynolds

Never in my life have I lost someone in my family that I was old enough to be emotional over. Well My step dad's mother has passed away. I know we didn''t know each other very well and we only saw her every couple years, but she was family. Now the long drawn out process of the funeral and legal issues.

But a flash back of Grandma Reynolds:
I remember the first time we went out to see her in LA, we actually stayed at my Great Grandma's house. I remember meeting Aunt Shannon and all my cousins, I remember putting way to much pepper on my spaghetti and I had to eat all.
I remember building a card house. I think we have a picture of us. I remember we got pulled over for Summer's car seat"not up to California
code" (it was they just pulled over AZ plates). Oh and seeing the dinosaurs by Blyth.


The next time we went out there I remember there was a few earth quakes, one at night and then one during the middle of the day and then one when we were driving to the lake.
I remember hearing "Flying Purple People Eater" for the first time at her house.
I remember she had a fish tank that sloshed when the earth quake hit and dad trying to save it from falling.

I do remember all the phone calls that I had with her, about my cousin Felicia and the others.

I will miss her, but do know that Heavenly Father will help her and that as soon as we can her work at the Temple will be done.
See you in Heaven Grandma!
