Marguerite - 1903-2007

posted in Family |

Grandma died this evening, in her sleep.  She was 104.

Mom said, somewhat shakily, "But she was supposed to last forever!"  We didn’t really think that, and we were expecting this very soon.  I’m flying out to mom’s tomorrow.

My post about grandma back in December.
