Grandma Whiting

Our sweet little Grandma Whiting passed away on December 13th. Grandma was such an amazing, sweet and loving woman. Her funeral was such a loving tribute to her and a great celebration of her life. Grandma LOVED the color pink, so we all wore pink in her honor. She collected dolls and was so excited to show them to us and tell us where each one came from. She also loved the Utah Jazz, and often preferred to watch the games alone because she would get quite upset and yell at Jerry or the players on TV! She also loved her sweet little Shih Tzu Bandi, and corrected me on more than one occasion on the pronunciation... Sheet Su ;)
She went on 6 missions! Teag loved to tease her that he never needed to go on one because she went on enough to cover him. I loved watching she and Teag together...she was tiny, not even 5 feet tall. She didn't hesitiate to put Teag in his place and speak her mind about what he should be doing - I always loved that about her:)
We were so sad about her passing, but couldn't imagine the amazing reunion she had with her sweetheart Lutie after being without him for 33 years. She had an amazing life and we will never forget her example and love.
