Our only Grandmother still with us here is my maternal grandmother, Grandma Marilyn (Gertrude) Young, whom I lovingly call Grandma Gertie. We have shared so many good times together and I love her dearly. Unfortunately, she has been hospitalized twice in the last two weeks for irregular heart beats and the second time for what we now know was a heart attack.We offer our prayers for her speedy recovery and that our family unite ever more to God and one another in times trying as these. Please join us in praying for her. This afternoon, they put stents in two arteries in her heart that had been almost entirely blocked up. May her heart beat anew.
We had the pleasure of celebrating her 82nd birthday with her this past week when we were in Michigan. As always, it was a joy to see her and spend time with her. Grandma Gertie, we love you. We miss you. We pray that you feel better after this surgery. You and I will always share a common love for butter, bacon, and salt, and all things Irish. The girls send you hugs and kisses.
