Goodbye to Grandma Jacobs


Yesterday, my Mom and Dad called to inform us that Grandma Jacobs passed away in York, Pennsylvania on Sunday, August 17th. We were visiting my brother Todd and his family (Tamara and Preslee) in Missouri when they called. It was a very sad call and we are praying for my Dad now that both Grandma and Grandpa Jacobs have both passed on. Since we have lived in Chicago, we have been able to visit her 3 times, most recently in April. We always love to visit with her, take walks through her nursing home and get spoiled by her snacks that she wins during bingo. She liked to save them up for us when we would come and visit. We will miss her constant smile, giggles and generosity.

Shane, I am very sorry to hear about your grandma. I guess it is from her that you learned your love of BINGO.:) Our prayers are with your family. It is never easy loosing a family member nomatter the age. That is neat that you have been able to visit her regularly since you lived so close to her. I am sure that meant the world to her.
