Tribute to Grandma Wheeler

Travis' grandma passed away on February 2nd. He used what photos he had available to put together this short tribute to her. Travis' grandma played a large role in raising him and his brothers and was more like a second mom to them. He was able to make it back up to Seattle last November to see her one last time and say good bye. He will always treasure the memories of her and will miss her.

OOHHH, that was so sweet! I am so glad he got to see her before she passed away. I am sure this is a hard time for him to be away from Seattle.

That was really sweet! Don't you love how much feeling music adds to pictures? Very nice video, and she was such a pretty lady.

That was really sweet. We just got to see Brett's Grandma this weekend. Her memory is so far gone that she was delighted to see us all over again each time we entered the room, and we introduced Izzy to her about 20 times! She's still sweet old Grandma and we love her though!

That was a beautiful tribute! It's hard to lose a grandparent. What a blessing that Travis was able to see her just a few months ago to share some memories in person. I'm sure it meant a lot to her and to his grandpa. Sorry you are so far away. It will be sad to miss her funeral. Be sure to ask someone to make an audio recording of it.

Very well done. Grandma will truly be missed. She was the rock this family was built upon, may her memory live on in all of us and help us remain close. I loved the ending, until we meet again. What a wonderful truth we have that families can be together forever. Thanks for the great tribute. We love you Grandma.

My husband, Gary, and I are neighbors of Kathi/George. She sent me a link to your tribute to her mother. Very beautiful. Gary has liver cancer and is a member of the LDS church, so I felt quite close to Grandma Wheeler and to you when I watched the video even though I've never met any of you. We returned to Seattle yesterday from a week in Tampa, so I also enjoyed seeing the rest of your Florida-and-family-related blog.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for such a fabulous tribute that let me see pictures I have never seen before and be reminded of the love you have for your grandma. She was the rock of our family, and her loving memory will continue hopefully to shine in all of our lives.

I did pass it on to a few people I wanted to see it. Like my great neighbors Linda and Gary, and Elizabeth's family as well.

And the Elvis music was perfect too. I love you guys!
