Beautiful Grandma Elsie Egbert


John's Amazing grandma passed away last week. We were able to visit with her just the day before. She was diagnosed with liver cancer 4 years ago and told she had 6 months to live.....well that just says it all. She still had a lot of life left to live and we love her very much. She always had a sparkle in her eye and a giggle on the way. I always loved how she would crinkle her eyes and cover her mouth when she laughed. we were able to attend her funeral Saturday and it was wonderful. Everyone talked about how wonderful she was and even though there were tears the joy of the legacy she left behind far outweighed that sadness. Thank you Grandma for leaving us such a great example to follow!
We love you.
