She meant so much to me, as she was my Great Grandmother. She and I had so much alike. We could always finish each others sentences, we had almost never ending conversations, and we both love to sleep. She and I were close for the past two years after I had moved to Texas. I’m very sad that she didn’t make it to 100 years, as I thought she would, but at least she still lived a long, happy, and importantly healthy life. I’m glad she didn’t pass away with pain. I went to the funeral today to be there for her, even if she didn’t know. I just know that she will be watching upon us in heaven, hoping we live as happy of a life as she did. I have been staying at her daughter’s (Dorothy Langsdorf [my grandmother]) house in the meanwhile. This is Great Grandma Janice May Yost’s great granddaughter signing out.
