Deep sorrow

Vera Frye died today at the age of 94. I called her "Mom" because she was like a mother to me (even though she was actually my mother-in-law.) Her nine grandchildren, including my sons, Ben and Brandon, called her "Grandma," and loved her deeply. her many nieces and nephews and their children lovingly called her "Auntie Vee."

I will always treasure the kind and generous way she helped us raise our sons durinmg the many years she lived with us. When we brought her along on a cross-country camping trip, she was definitely the best campur in the van, always packing up her sleeping bag and being ready to go before the rest of us. I will miss her.
