Earlier this week, Tod's grandma, had a stroke, and she passed away peacefully yesterday morning. I have a soft spot in my heart for Grandma Wanda because she was the first person in Tod's family that I met. In fact, at the time Tod and I started dating, he was living with Wanda in Layton, Utah. The summer of 2000 is one I will never forget. I enjoyed getting to know Wanda- her spunky personality, her love of her dogs, and her funny stories. I can still picture her with a can of Diet Coke in her hand. She seemed to really understand how "in love" Tod and I were...and she was an awfully good sport about our late hours and comings and goings. We had a lot of fun times together going to the Star Cafe, working in her yard and just visiting. Since that time, we had kind of lost touch with us moving far a way...but I will still always remember Wanda with love and good memories. This picture is of Wanda holding Ashton when she was about a month old. I wish the girls could have gotten to know her. I wish that I could have known her better.
