Ninny

Ninny on Christmas morning in 2008 at Jenny's house here in Dallas. She loved her silky robes and coffee. Mom always made sure she had plenty of gifts to unwrap. She taught us how to play 42 and stayed up late with us kids. She was VERY young at heart, loved to learn, and had an infectious smile.

Ninny at Julianne 1st Birthday Party in The Woodlands. She was always up for a good time and was always dressed in such a classy way. That Ninny had style, grace, and modesty.

Not sure why this is so tiny, but this is Ninny on the day Julianne was born. Julianne was Great Grandchild #7 (I think). Now there are 13 GGC (I think).

Ashley and Karl's wedding in Puerto Vallarta, MX in 2005. An amazing and wonderful family memory. Justin and Ninny always teased eachother - they had a very sweet relationship.

Ninny and me on the Sea of Galilee. As a retired Methodist Minister Ninny led tours to the Holy Land and took me with her when I was in high school. She went 42 times. We went all over Israel and Egypt and hit Rome on the way home. One of the best memories of my life.

Pic we took of ourselves in our hotel room in Rome.

So, Ninny passed away on Easter after my mom and uncle Mike told her it was time to go. We kept telling Julianne that we were going to Houston to celebrate Ninny's life. The entire week Julianne kept asking, "when is Ninny's party? or when is Ninny's celebration?" She kept everything light and festive at the Visitation by annoucing to everyone, "NINNY DIED!" She did not really know what she was saying. At the burial she and the other little ones danced around the flowers and it was really quite a beautiful day and sight. Ninny will be greatly missed, but we know she is at home in heaven with her family and friends that have gone before her.
