This morning we received the news that Ray's Grandma Laurel M has passed away in her sleep. This happened sometime during the night, not sure when. She has been struggling with dementia and other physical problems so this is a great blessing for her to now be whole. It's hard that Grandpa is without her for a while and we really feel badly for him, they are so in love. Ray is doing well, he was told right as his day started at work today and yet he stayed at work despite what is going on.
She was an amazing woman, I've only known her 8 years or so and she has always been so spunky. She grew up with 3 other sisters in a coal mine and worked with babies in the NICU at one point in her life, Alex brought back a lot of memories when she finally met him and that was so endearing to me. She was the one who had a cleft in the soft pallet, something we didn't know until Alex was born with the same one of course. She was so fiesty, she was always pinching others, sticking out her tongue, and giggling. That's one thing I loved about her, she was always so happy. At the end she seemed tired and not quite the same but she's definitely up in heaven giggling and dancing away! :) We love her and I'm sorry my kids won't get to know how great she was.
