On Friday, August 1, Jamie's grandma Meme passed away. She was able to have her last moments at home, in her own bed, surrounded by family--just as she and Grandpa Edward wanted it to be. She was a very special lady who loved her grandkids very much. We will miss Meme, and will always remember her with love...
