Grandma Hoy

On saturday July 11, 2009 Ardis Hoy passed away after a very short illnes. Grandma had just turned 90 in May. This is her with my brother, Den and I at the graveside service for Dad. Our family is getting smaller and it wasn't that big to begin with. Grandma and Grandpa only had 2 boys. Dad and Uncle Jerry. They each had 2 kids. Lucky me I was the only girl untill my cousins had kids. Grandpa passed away a long time ago.
This picture is of Grandma and Grandpa. I think it was taken after they were married. Nice looking couple. They were married over 50 years before Grandpa died. I am glad I have great memorys of times with them. Grandma always made me feel special and I was to her because I was her only girl. She used to do things for me that she didn't do for the boys. She is the one that taught me how to crochet. If anyone got any potholders from Mom or me she is the one that made them. My Grandma was very special to me and I will miss her for the rest of my life.
