Jerry was my Grandma and she was feisty. I went most of my life growing up thinking she was invincible, nothing could ever knock her down. She had lifelong illnesses and disabilities from those illnesses spanning longer than I had been on this Earth but it never brought her down. She fought long, and she even fought through the death of her husband and two of her daughters. She was inspiring in a way. She made you want to get out of bed no matter what was going wrong in your life and persevere, she made you want to get you life together and fight. She fought for so long and even in death I will fight for and because of her. She was a pivotal part of my childhood and for the rest of my life I’m going to miss her, but I’m so glad that my Mom has been reunited with her parents once again. And I’m glad that my Grandma can see her long-lost daughter and husband for the rest of eternity.
