Deserving recognition

This is my grandmother. Virginia Mahaffey. Amazing, strong, bull headed, funny, hard working, giving, Pennsylvania Dutch, partying, jokester, sly, loving, grandma. She was diagnosed with Alzheimer's a couple years ago - she knows us, but no longer our birthdays. She may forget to bathe, but she does not forget bingo. She is my mother's mother. She became a great grandmother finally at the age of 87 when Cooper John was born. She is now a great grandmother to 2, and admits she is glad they are both boys (she said her family has plenty of girls!!) Today is her birthday. 92. Happy birthday grandma - may peace be with you today and always. I love you.

Oh, I am sorry I am just catching up on your blog and I missed your Grandma's birthday!!!!!! Happy belated birthday! I have had the pleasure of sitting across from Grandma during a bingo outing and her happiness of the game was infectious!
