Grandma Bye

We got word this morning that Grandma Bye passed away. She has been very ill over the last several years and had Alzheimers and didn't really know anyone. Although we are sad we have our pictures and our memories. She can at last be at peace.

Grandma and I took right to each other. She was kind of a no-nonsense kind of gal and I guess that's what I appreciated about her the most. She was what she was and that was that! We visited them one time in Texas the week Grandpa got word that he had cancer (which turned out to be terminal). I think I will always remember Grandma and her chickens. Mark talks fondly of Christmases spent in Texas and of Grandma's banna bread and chocolate malts.

Grandma Laverne Bye as I remember her the most. She always wore an outfit just like this. I guess that's how she was comfortable.

Grandma Bye, you will be missed!
