Grandma McKinlay
My grandma passed away two weeks ago and during that time I have been reading tributes to her on different family blogs. I have been wanting to write my own tribute to my grandma but my emotions have been so close to the surface that it has been difficult to write. Even now I am having a hard time; it's difficult to put in to words what she means to me. Now, this will not be nearly as eloquent as my siblings posts but…
My grandma McKinlay has been a key figure in my life since I was born and has helped shape the woman that I am today. Her unconditional love helped me though some challenging times as I matured and I am forever grateful for her influence and example. She is truly amazing. Growing up I loved more than anything to spend time, especially one on one time, with my grandma. And as I got older I treasured my time with her even more, though sometimes there at the end she didn‘t know who I was. I love her so very much and I am going to miss her terribly. I am so very thankful for the knowledge of the Plan of Salvation and I look forward to the day when I get to hug grandma again. I thank my Heavenly Father for my angel grandmother and hope that I can live worthy to be with her again. I love you grandma!
