This was indeed a day of reflection, remembrance, and respect.
Diana’s Grandmother, Martha Meese, passed away on November 3, 2007. Today was the memorial service and burial. While I can’t say more than any close family member might, I can tell you how I felt about Martha.
The first time I met her, she smiled at me. Every time I saw her, she smiled. I can’t remember a time when I didn’t at least get a friendly nod. She would often ask how I was doing, and was interested in what I had to say. It’s easy to reflect on the little time I’ve known her.
My best remembrance of her will be in her granddaughter’s eyes… that beautiful smile and loving way, always caring about what I have to offer.
I paid my respect as we drove to the top of Tom’s mountain to the private Meese cemetary and buried her ashes next to her husband, who preceded her some years ago. Afterward, we hugged and talked about good times.
But it was cold up there, and so we all soon parted ways.
But kept Grandma in our hearts.
