Grandma Odendahl

My Grandma Odendahl recently passed away. With Wesley being soo little I was unable to go home for the funeral which was hard. Miranda is in Africa and was also unable to go. Miranda said it the best soo i am just going to copy her.

Well, Grandma – I’m proud of you, too. I’m proud of your strength while dealing with a long, long difficult illness. And I’m happy that your suffering has now come to an end, and I know you are in a better place – telling stories and laughing with Norma and your mom. I’ll miss you, but I know that you’ll be watching out for me from above. Which means that now you’re going to see all the bungee jumping, crazy bus rides, Mardi Gras, safaris and silly things that I didn’t want you to worry about before. I love you!

I guess I didn't ever know your Grandmother's first name... it was always just "GrandmaOdendahl", as if it were all one word. Thanks for posting her obituary. (She was a real "dish", in her day!) I printed it up and put it in a box where i save mementos of special people i've known who have passed on. I noticed that she and your Grandpa were married in the same week as Drew's Grandparents were married in Iowa back in 1948.
