saying goodbye...

January 5th 2012. Day #35.  Today we said goodbye to Great-Grandma Block.  Since you are too young to know what life and death are all about today wasn't as hard for you as it was for Dad and Mom.  Grandmas are very special people, so losing one is very hard.  Grandma Amy was an excellent painter and loved playing the piano.  Daddy says he will never forget her laugh.  Her funeral was at St. Lawrence Catholic Church, this is the church your Grandpa Block goes to, and what's most special about this church is Grandpa Block built it!  We will miss you Grandma Amy!
