My family was able to get together to remember Tutu. It was exactly what she would have loved. She loved having all of us together.
With all the cousins together, we made a trip to Redondo.
Time together at the house:
Mikayla and Shelby especially bonded:

I loved listening to Papa share his stories of when he and Tutu first got together. The story of how they met is especially incredible. My grandma gave up everything to be with my grandpa, a testament to her character for sure.
The dress she was baptized in.
Her wedding dress.
Tutu's legacy:
Tutu and Papa- married 59 years.
I'm grateful that she was able to meet both of her great grandchildren.

Even when Mikayla was born, she was strong enough to hold her.
So grateful for my memories and time with such a lovely woman.
