the saddest day in a long time

Yesterday Mary Alice "Grammy" Graves left behind her loving family and husband of 58 years at 2:15 p.m.

She left peacefully, surrounded by a room full of family, after a year long bout with cancer. Her spirit never wavered, even in the darkest most painful times.

Below is her and Jimmy "Papaw" Graves on their wedding day. Below that is her celebrating the newest addition to the family, Michelle Graves. Below that is she and I on Saturday, celebrating my cousin's wedding.

We'll miss ya Grammy. We hate to see you go.

Awww...Jesse. I am really sorry that you've lost your grandmother. I love the picture of you with her that you have posted.
