In loving memory: Adra Irene Gettemy


Last week I attended the funeral of my adopted grandma - Adra Irene Gettemy. Known to me as Grandma Gettemy. I will always remember her for her hospitality and generosity. Grandma Gettemy had a long life - she was 97 years old. She had a good life - married for 60 years to a man she loved and alive long enough to be known by some of her great-grandchildren.

Her last few years were characterized by pain, discomfort and discontent. She was ready to go. While she will be missed dearly, the memorial service was a celebration of a life well-lived.

just Sheri, hoping I've met my quota of funerals for a while
