One more angel,

By Shannon | July 30, 2008

Ma 2002 Ma and Ireland 05

Last night Hub’s grandmother, Charlotte, passed away. She was 91.

When Cameron was little and we had 53 grandmothers in town alone, we dubbed her ‘Ma’. It took, and we all called her Ma. It helped when she would turn off her hearing aid, and we would scream to get her attention….MA!!!!!!!!!

She lost her husband, in the 70’s I believe, so she moved in with my in-laws. For 20 plus years. It was normal. She even moved out of her basement apartment, into a tiny room, so that Hub and I could move in with Cameron while we sold our condo.

She never learned to drive, she had sewn all her kids clothes, and buried 3 children. When her daughter passed away, she took in all of her grandchildren and raised them as her own. She made the best homemade noodles.

She was a very special lady. And now she’s back with her Husband, and looking over us, smiling.
