Tribute to Granny

[BunnyBuster]

We buried my grandmother today. She was a wonderful lady that found plenty of love for a large family. My grandfather and her were a great team. He passed on several years ago.

My grandfather ran a Fox hunting pen (about 400 acres) on the Greenup and Lewis County line for many years. If none of you know anything about fox hunting it would have been a trip for you. It was all about family, friends, and fox hounds.

There were no worry about losing their prize hounds in the fences so they came from all over the eastern US to run those foxes. My grandma was the camp cook. She was there by my grandfather faithfully for years in the fox hunting and his other business. Naturally the grandchildren use to get in on all the fun. Oh the memories we all share.

My advise, don't let an opportunity pass by without sharing an opportunity to spend time with your grandparents or other loved ones. Those precious ones soon become precious memories.

Excellent advice. I've lost all my grandparents and not a day goes by that I don't wish I'd spent more time with them. I'm sorry for your loss.

[BunnyBuster]

Thanks for the prayers and kind words. It is surely appreciated.

[trust me]

She sounds like a special lady, just like my granny. My granny taught me about cooking and gardening and skinning groundhogs and even a few off-color jokes.

Losing a person like your granny is always hard, but you should celebrate her life and the many memories, and cherish those things every day.

sorry about the loss, I lost my grandmother on march 30 1999, she was like a mother to me. It killed me when I lost her.:(

Sorry about Granny passing. My uncle used to run a fox club around the Ashland area for years, but he passed on a few years ago. Yes, if you love someone, let them know. It may not matter much to them, they may not have the same love for you, but at least you know you loved them.
