Grandma Stoehr (Craig's grandma) came here in the Spring of 2009 to live with Craig's mom. Mikayla was just a baby then as you can see from the picture. We were blessed to have her here so we could get to know her better. Whenever we went to Craig's mom's house Austin would refer to it as "2 grandma's house" (because 2 grandma's lived there) whereas my mom's house was known as "1 grandma's house."
Grandma Stoehr in her garden--she kept a very watchful eye and tender touch to her garden. She also wanted to grow some sunflowers which was done but they ended up growing just as high as the roof of the house. Just thinking about that always makes me smile. Grandma Stoehr was such a great example to her family--of love, patience, and faithfulness. She passed onto the other side on October 15, 2010 and for the last 2 weeks she was with us I was very touched by the tender and loving care provided to her by her children. They read scriptures to her, sang to her, made sure they did everything they could to keep her comfortable, and expressed countless "I love you's." And while she will be missed here by many, there are countless others on the other side who welcome her arrival!!

Very well written post. Still can't believe Grandma Stoehr is gone, but as we know, she's in a better place now.
