Remembering Grandma Dora

My Grandma Dora passed away last Monday and her funeral was this past weekend. I always dread going to funerals, but her's was different. It wasn't somber like I was expecting. There were sad moments, but it really was a celebration of her life. My aunt and uncle each told stories from their childhood as well as my grandma's childhood and had the congregation all laughing. My favorite part though, was when my dad read this poem written by my grandma entitled Requiem. She wrote it with the purpose of it being read at her funeral.
