My Sweet Grandma Lois Arlene Smith

My Grandma Lois was the sweetest lady ever!

Here she is with Abbie...this picture was taken a few days before my Papa died 3 years ago. She was vibrant and full of life!

Again, this was a few days before Papa went into the hospital unexpectedly and passed away a few days later:(

A few years ago...she became a lot weaker after my grandpa passed away.

Just this past July

When I think of my grandma, I think about her home. I always LOVED going there. It was the home my dad was raised in, the home I spent many days in growing up and as an adult, a home filled with unconditional love, acceptance, and peace.
I will always remember her: knick-knacks, angels, sparrows (ordered from Crystal Cathedral:), tons of pictures, a bluish-greenish bathtub and toilet, jewelry, accessories, shoes, homemade hangers, sticky chicken dinner, and a painting that I now own...but it will stay hidden (ask me about it some time:).
My grandma had character, integrity, and love for the Lord.
She was grateful for her family, grateful for her husband, grateful for her Savior, and grateful for all of her blessings. I vividly remember her telling me many times how thankful she was for all of these things...I will never forget that.
My Papa and Grandma Lois were 2 of the greatest people I have ever known. Their love for each other and for Christ is such a powerful example for me. Aaron and I were married on their wedding anniversary:)
I am happy that my grandma isn't suffering physically and emotionally anymore. I am happy that she is with Jesus and Papa. I will miss her for now...
