WEAKER AND WEAKER

Grani is getting physically weaker day by day. She is still napping twice a day, and even mentioned, "It feels good to be down". For now, visits and phone contacts are limited to once a day, usually on a first come (or call), first served basis. She is generally more energetic in the earlier hours of the day. Her Hospice nurse was just here, and said the weakness is most likely due to the location of the tumor/cancer in her brain.
She still likes to keep current on the family "happenings". Mikayla got her mission call to Barcelona, Spain (which Grani accurately guessed!), and Stewart's second oldest daughter Marissa just got married last weekend in the Las Vegas Temple to Cameron Crowther. The weekend was absolutely perfect (congrats to all involved), and Grani did have the energy for a sneak preview of the reception hall, which was magical.
Thinking toward the future, Grani wants everyone to know, especially those that live in Arizona, that she will have a graveside dedication at the Mesa Cemetary, with a roast (hot dogs, hamburgers and Grani) to follow at Sterling and Regina's home in Chandler. Absolutely all are welcome and encouraged to join in the celebration of Grani's terrific life as we visit and eat together.

Once again, we thank you all for your love and support.
