She was also known as Sann, mom, Grandma, Tutu, DeGams...She was born in 1911. She passed away yesterday. She lived a wonderful life!
Grandma made me and all of her 38 other grandchildren feel like they were her "favorite". She made everyone feel special. And always made sure that we knew she loved us. She showed it with everything she did, and said it with words every chance she got. Even until the very end of her life. I understand my Heavenly Father's love better because I have a grandma that has loved me with a perfect love. Thanks, DeGams for "loving me first".
In this picture, grandpa is holding my angel sister, Becky (Rebecca's name sake). No doubt it was a joyous reunion for Becky and Grandpa and Grandma. We miss those we love! And I am so looking forward to seeing them again. I also look forward to Grandma's funeral: a celebration of her life! And recounting memories of this precious person with my cousins, aunts, and uncles. See you soon, McKin! xoxoxo
P.S. I can never say enough good things and thank you's to Auntie Heather and Aunt Soogie who took such good care of Grandma, every day, these past several years. You two are angels.

What a great tribute, Em! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
I love this picture! I imediately thought of Becky when my mom called to tell me the news. They are having such a pary right now! And Grandam looks gorgeous in this picture. No wonder she has such hot grandkids!
I'm with Kaitlyn. After running to grandpa, I can see Tutu just holding Becky and squeezing her tight. I'm sure grandma has candy in her purse up there in heaven.
Oh, such a sweet post! I love my mommy SO much and miss her already. I know she is with grandpa and Becky among others, and is dancing. She was and is so happy and vibrant. And Cassi, I'll bet she does have candy in her purse! Thanks for your love and visits to daGams. Love you, Mimi
Such a sweet post Em. What a lady, she was so wonderful. Love you!

I love this - you have such a way with words! I miss grandma so much already, but like everyone else says - she's with grandpa and becky and all her siblings and parents and friends now!
Love you!
Oh Emmers, such a wonderful lady! So precious with her smile and hugs. Every time I ever spoke with her she would hold onto my hand and sweetly look right into my eyes the entire time, a woman full of so much love. I think I will send off some balloons today. xoxoxoxo
