Mike’s grandmother, Emma and Will’s great-grandmother, Hester, passed away last Sunday. It was her 97th birthday.
Hester was quiet, but had a gentle strength. She cried the first time she met Emma and watched Will with intently when she met him last October. Emma was fascinated with the softness of Nana’s skin and loved the candy Nana gave her when we went to visit.
We didn’t get to see Nana nearly as much as we would have liked, since she was in Massachusetts and we are here in Maryland, but I love that I got a chance to know her at all. I am also happy that her great-grandchildren got a chance to meet her. She will be missed.
