Lois Halim 1913-2010

Grandma suffered from a major stroke two days before we left California. She never recovered functioning and passed away this week. S and I will fly back to California for her funeral on the 27th.

G-ma and me from 2007:


Celebrating Uncle Daniel's Bday this summer:


Grandma:
- was the favorite of her father (one of the stories she liked to tell)
- was proud of having six sons
- was a great knitter
- was strong (could move furniture by herself)
- was stubborn
- was hospitable and loved having guests
- loved to play her keyboard and sing hymns
- loved eating and had a big sweet tooth
- told me she could tell E was very studious because he had no hair on his forehead :)

We'll miss you, Grandma!

I'm sorry to hear about your grandma, Jan. I'm glad you could see her over Christmas and that you and Simone are able to go back for her funeral.

Thank you for the birthday greetings for Grace!

Thinking of you,
Love,
Ginny
