Today my grandmother, Rosemary Brown White, 88, was laid to rest at Crestwood Christian Church in Lexington, Kentucky. She passed away on Tuesday, June 10th in her home.
Though I couldn't be there for the services, my parents and brothers were present. Rachel and I visited a few weeks ago, when we got word that her cancer had taken a turn for the worse.
It was a great day to visit her. She was sharp as a tack and felt great. Just the day prior, Nana wasn't feeling great. The tumor she had raised her calcium levels and caused confusion. Not that day though.
Rachel and I visited her the next day to, and we greeted with stories from her past and an impressive array of historical photos showing our family's past as far back as the 1800's.
Her last days were surrounded by family. And, according to my Aunt, she was only uncomfortable the last two days. Up until that point, she was being visited by everyone and seemed at peace.
Nana was a strong woman with an indomitable spirit... and she made great sweet pickled to boot! She will be missed by all of us. And I, personally, am thankful for the time I got to spend with her.
