A Tribute to Grandma Dallin

This is a picture of my grandma and grandpa Dallin at my grandma's 80th birthday party. The picture they're holding is of them when they were newlyweds. Isn't my grandma beautiful, and my grandpa's so handsome. The reason I'm writing this entry is because my sweet grandma passed away this morning at 2:30 am. She was 82 years old. She's a mother of 4, grandmother of 19, greatgrandmother of 23, and counting in-laws, her posterity comes to a total of 61. She was...is one of the most amazing people I've ever known. She is the epitome of sweetness. She left such a great example, in the way she lived her life, for people to follow. She led an amazing life and will be missed by many, most especially by my grandpa. He has been the kind of husband to my grandma that every woman dreams of. It seems that they had a storybook kind of love. One that death can have no effect on. I know my grandma will be by his side until it is time for him to join her. She is in a much better place now, and I am so happy for her!
