In Memory of Grandma

Evelyn Jane Diesen
December 3, 1917-October 15, 2008

Love is stronger than death even though it can't stop death from happening, but no matter how hard death tries it can't separate people from love. It can't take away our memories either. In the end, life is stronger than death.

I was very blessed to have such an amazing Grandma and have so many wonderful memories to hold onto. I traveled to California to go to her funeral services and was reminded how truly important family is and how grateful I am for my extended family. I really enjoyed hearing stories about Grandma and reliving childhood memories. During my Mom's recent visit with us, we even started playing Yahtzee with my kids. There aren't many visits with Grandma when a good game of Yahtzee wasn't part of the day. I know she would be proud to pass the torch.

Sadly we all had to say goodbye to our dear Grandma. She is dearly loved and will truly be missed.

I have a very talented friend in California that makes jewelery. I contacted her and let her know of my Grandma's passing and asked her if she could make something for my Mom. This is what she did. A necklace with my Grandma's picture for my Mom and a matching bracelet to be buried with my Grandma. I so appreciate her hard work and thoughtfulness!
