Grandma Reva Killpack

Last week Mike's Grandma Killpack passed away, She was 93 years old, born in 1915. We went to her funeral on Saturday and it was so intersting to hear about her whole life. How neat it would be to look back on 93 years of life, seeing your family grow & the world around you evolve. It's funny how we get so stressed about the little things, but none of it really matters. When I look back on my life, all i want to remember is being happy. And I hope my good times overpower my bad. Looking around the chapel, I was thinking that this one women's life affected so many. She had 79 Great Grandchildren and starting to get a couple Great Great Grandkids. Her husband died about 25 years ago, so Mike's family was happy that she finally got to see him again. It seems like such a long time to live without your companion. I couldn't imagine! If Mike dies before I do, i hope i go quickly after!

I hope that when I die I will be remembered as being kind. This is such a good reminder that life is short and we need to not worry about silly things.
