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!

I"m sorry to hear about your grandma. It's always hard losing a grandparent no matter how long of a life they lived. I've said this before but I always loved hearing stories about your grandma.
Melis, I'm sorry to hear about the passing of your Grandma. I hope everyone in your family is doing okay. It's hard to say goodbye. At least we know it's just a goodbye for now, not forever!
By the way, you're looking as gorgeous as ever! And your family is darling, too! I miss our chats!
I hope everything else is going well for you! Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
What wonderful pictures Melissa, and I have been thinking of you these last couple of weeks. Your grandma was a wonderful lady.
Well I'm just reading this now! I'm glad you stole the pictures!!! Sweet post about your grandma.
