RIP GG
RIP Rachel M. Manley
I spent the day down in Houston. On Sunday my Great Grandma passed away. Michael went with me because I knew that my family already knew about him and would be upset if he had not shown up. I was not able to make it to the viewing on Tusday night. Im kind of glad that I did not go. I dont think that I would have been able to look at her body. I did not want to rember my GG "sleeping," I want to rember her running people over in her chair or sitting there talking to me. I think that it realy hit me when Mindy came up to me when we were eatting lunch at St. Timothys and she said that she was just looking for Grandma to fix her a plate and then rembered that shes the reson that we were there. I was sad that they did not inclued me in the list of her Great Grand kids. GG said that I was one of her Grate Grand kids. She made shur that I was not left out. I guess it just now hitting me that she is gone. I have inclued her obituarie that I found on the Houston Chronicle web page.
