My grandma Crimm passed away last night. She suffered from dementia for 14 years. It's very sad to hear that she has passed away, but also brings joy to me to think of the wonderful reunion she is having with her dad in heaven. I sure wish that I knew my grandma better. She lived in Mississippi, where my mom grew up. We would talk to her on the phone lots when we were younger, and we went to visit just a handful of times. I do know that my grandma was a very loving and kind person. The last time we went to visit her was when I was a senior in high school. She was always so much fun, and made us all laugh. As soon as we would see her she would tell us "to get over here and give her some sugar." I remember going to the store with her while visiting in Mississippi, and her calling the shopping cart a buggy. We laughed at her for days for calling it that. We had never heard that before being from Wyoming. I remember the last time we were in Mississippi, all us girls were in the bathroom at great grandmas with grandma. We were all doing our hair. Grandma was teasing her hair. She said, "I have teased my hair my whole life, it can't be good for it, but I just keep doing it." A chunk of her hair came out with her comb after she was done teasing it. She laughed at herself, and said " oh well it grows back right." I seriously think of that laughing moment with her just about every time I tease my hair. Although I don't have a lot of memories with my grandma, I know she loved me. She loved her family so much and still does. I wish I could of known her more, but I look forward to someday seeing her again. Of course having more laughing moments with her. Love you grandma. We will miss you until we meet again.
