To my Beautiful, Loving Grandma Beth



My grandma Beth passed away last month on January 13. She was 75 years old, had been married for 56 years, has 7 children, 37 grandchildren, and 22 great-grandchildren. She is a wonderful example of goodness and love. I feel so lucky to have had her in my life as I grew up. She was always very interested in what I was doing and supported me all that she could. Whenever you went on a trip with Grandma and Grandpa Christensen, Grandma would make a batch of her special chocolate no-bake cookies for the ride. I found that recipe and made those cookies the other day. It's amazing how such simple things bring such good feelings and memories. Thank you, Grandma. I love you.

It was so good to see you the other day. It is crazy how time flies. I hope the rest of this pregnancy goes well. Good Luck!

Oh my goodness, my condolences. My grandma passed away at 75, as well. Too early. She sounds wonderful.

So sorry about your Grandma, Holli. What a wonderful lady! I think having wonderful Grandmas makes it that much easier to appreciate growing old and looking forward to being a wonderful grandma ourselves someday! Love you!

Holli! I don't know why it's been so long since I looked at your blog! So fun to read about everything. I don't think I'd even seen the family reunion post! Maybe I just don't remember it...
Love you so much! I hope all is going well for you. I don't know if you heard yet, but I'm having twins. They should come sometime in August. I'm so excited that you're having a boy! One of each is so much fun.
