Lee Anne Kelton (Grammy)

We got the news that Grammy was taken to the ER b/c of problems breathing. After many tests, it was realized that she actually had stage 4 lung cancer that had spread to her legs, skull, etc. She tried one dose of chemo, but it was all she could take. Brian took every other weekend to go out and see his mom and we are so thankful he was able to do so.

On March 11, she passed away. Brian, Lora and Alan were all able to be with her. It was also the same day as Olivia's birthday party at our house. I decided not to tell the girls until the next day. Brian came home on Sunday (the 13th--Liv's actual birthday) and we packed to get ready to leave that following Tuesday.

We were able to use the extra time to pick out things that we wanted to remember her by and special pictures for a slide show, etc. Her funeral was on Thursday the 17th. It was a rough day of course, but afterwards, we had a big dinner at Bahama Breeze (the same place where we had all had a big family dinner at Christmas time. Grammy loved that dinner.)























Then, we flew home and had a wonderful meal brought to us by our friends, the Ward's.
