We were able to travel to Minnesota this past week to be with my family and celebrate my Gram's life. It was truly a gift to be a part of the celebration. My Aunt Sue planned and facilitated a beautiful memorial mass. My Aunt Sue's words were thoughtful, funny and touching. My Mom and sister planned a lovely dinner reception complete with Gram's favorite Italian meal from DeGidio's! The burial service was especially memorable for me. It was short and sweet set in the Fort Snelling National Cemetery covered with fresh snow. Now my Gram rests in peace with my Grandpa.
We spent the rest of the time as a family, telling stories, eating great meals at Grams favorite spots and enjoying time together.
Thank you Mimi and Pop for taking care of the kids. They had a wonderful time going to the park, playing with new toys, participating in storytime, and picking strawberries.
