Bye Grandma

Ethel Sprackman 1920-2009

My grandmother Ethel passed away this week at the age of 88. Five years ago she got sick and we rushed Canada to perhaps say our good-byes. But Grandma survived that incident and lived five more years in which time she welcomed four great-grandchildren into the world.
Despite the loss of her leg Grandma walked down the aisle last year at my cousin's wedding.
Goodbye Grandma, we'll miss your "HEH-lows" and your chicken soup.

  3. My grandmother was named Ethel as well. You don't see many Ethel's nowadays.

    My condolences to you and your family. At least she got to know the great grandkids.
