A trip to Michigan for Nonnie

Gus' Nonnie passed away last Thursday. She was 97 years old, and we flew to Michigan this weekend to be with family and remember her long, happy, blessed life. We are thankful she was able to meet her three great-grandchildren. Nonnie will be missed, but we feel blessed for the many years God gave us with her and for the weekend we had with family honoring her life.

Those great-grandchildren certainly enjoyed being together this weekend. I didn't get many in-focus pictures of Ella and Henry because they were always jumping or running somewhere together. They even gave each other nicknames: "La" and "Honey". It was pretty darn cute to see them finally play together, and now we get to look forward to Mila chasing them around one day soon. Henry also enjoyed some of Michigan's finest foliage in Grandma and Papou's backyard.

    Thank you very much for the wonderful tribute to my Mother. She loved each and every one of you and was always happy to see all of you.
    And how she loved holding the Great Grandchildren. In the midst of frailty, she'd struggle to hold onto them and snuggle. Just them in her arms lifted her spirits.
    Daddy and I so appreciate every one coming home, it gave us such comfort. And the pictures, thanks for capturing those little angels and the joy they bring to us.
    Love and Blessings,
    Mom and Dad
