Grandma Vivian Ruth Swopes Casswell Urie, January 15, 1930 - June 6, 2008.
She has risen new and perfect with God, beating us if we were in a race. Like my honey said, "now she knows. She knows what we all wonder... what it's like on the other side."
She leaves behind a rich, rich legacy of children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren as well as influence far beyond family. May we all strive to be as loving, as accepting and as strong as she lived.
We can't help missing you, Grandma, but we rejoice with you, too. And we will pour out our love on Grandpa now, just as you would want us to!
There is nothing quite like celebrating two birthdays back to back. We had an entire week of balloons and party favors and new toys. The sun was slow in coming out, but then we had water balloons and squirt guns and more new toys... our family was so, so great about celebrating growing kids. We had the best of times. Great memories.
