Grandma Ashby

Grandma Ashby
My Memories....

Always made Mexican food on Thanksgiving
Had lots of cacti and desert decor in her house
Caffeine Free Coke in the Fridge
Biggest Candy Bars on Halloween
She would do anything. Even till the end. Anry.
Loved little people
Black poodle named Shadow

Even though I was her step-grandchild you would have never known. She loved us all and we were always welcome at her house. Anytime. 

She will be missed greatly.
Her death was a little easier knowing that she has an 'old man' waiting on her on the other side. 
And I am sure he was ready to see her. 

My brother, Nick, and I spent her last night with her. 
I will never forget we were getting ready to leave and my brother kissed her on the forehead and said bye and although we did not know what she said back she mumbled to him and she knew we were there.
