My Great Grandma

Yesterday my great grandma Ratliff passed away. She was so sweet. I have so many wonderful memories of her. It is always hard to lose someone you love, but deep down, we all know she is much happier now. Until about 2 years ago, she was very self reliant and lived on her own. She then had a stroke, and slowly continued to get sicker. She lived a very good life, and my kids were so lucky to have a great great grandma. That was always the highlight of our Michigan trips for Avery, visiting her great great grandma. When we were in Michigan last summer, she asked Avery what kind of cake she should have for her birthday, and Avery said chocolate. When her birthday came, she was asked what kind of cake she wanted and she said Chocolate. She had remembered that Avery had said that. We will miss her alot and our visits with her while in Michigan will be missed, but Avery said it best last night "Grandma is so happy now because she lives with Jesus, and he loves her a lot, and maybe my grandpa Kaiser will stop and say hi to her."
