Grandma Riding

Today Anthon and I had to speak in church. It was a very busy week this week. Anthon started school again on Monday and I started back to work as well. Anthon is taking 5 classes plus a lab and a scholarship class he takes as well. He is working hard towards his Industrial Engineering degree. He got accepted into the 4 plus 1 program so in about 2 years he will have his bachelor and master's degree.
Monday I worked hard on fixing problems with our kids care program then Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday worked for 5 hours or so in the kids care program over the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th graders and also training a new hire. Friday I went back to my normal schedule of kids care for two hours in the morning, PE during the day and then an hour and a half after school for kids care. I did not miss getting up at 4:30 that's for sure!
We found out this morning that Grandma Riding passed away. Anthon went over there last night to help with getting her to bed after she became tired and weak while walking from the bathroom. She is such a sweet woman and she will be greatly missed here on Earth. It's so precious to think of her with her eternal companion now, Grandpa Riding. I never met Grandpa Riding but have never heard anything bad about him. Here are some of the special moments we have shared with her:

 Here is Grandma Riding and I at my baby shower for Everett. She always let the family use her house to host events.
 Here Everett is with Grandma Riding & Tex at church when he is almost 3 months old. They matched.
Here is Grandma Riding with us on our Wedding Day!
Here is my father is law David and Grandma Riding holding Everett when he is 3 weeks old. 
Here is Grandma Riding hold Vinson when he was about a month and a half old. We have this hanging on the wall.

Grandma was always worried about other people. She told Anthon last night that she would try and make it to our talks today and that if she didn't we should come by and give her a little piece of it this afternoon. I'm sure she was listening from above. I'm grateful she is no longer in pain from her illnesses and that she is in a happier place. We love you Grandma!
