this is my grandma denbleyker. my dad's mom. a few years back, she passed away at 99 years old. she was a phenomenal woman. i am proud to be called her grand-daughter.
i think this is one of my favorite pictures of my dad and his mama. the day this picture was taken, i remember thinking that i never want to forgot how happy everyone was. we were all together. cousins, aunts and uncles, etc. this was the last time that we were all together before she died. i'm so thankful for that day.
