What are Great-Grandparents Made Of?

Today our hearts are heavy as we have learned Jeff's grandmother, Wilma Copeland, has passed away. This was totally unexpected and is a big shock to us all. Please pray for Carolyn (Jeff's mom) because I cannot begin to imagine how sad she must be to have lost her mother. Please also keep Jeff and his entire family in your prayers. Reese and Collin call Grandma "Gigi" and she was so special to them. They absolutely adore her and will miss her so much. Collin and Gigi had the most special connection and he had so much fun playing with her. I am so glad Reese and Collin were able to love her and know her and see what a special person she was. The top picture is of Reese and Gigi and the 2nd picture is with Great Daddy (Eric's father/Reese & Collin's Great Grandfather). I am including a poem about Great-Grandparents and wanted to honor them both.

What are Great Grandparents Made of?

Lives that inspire, heros to admire, wisdom to share, a blessing so rare. Kind gentle hands, hearts understand, quick ready smiles, visits awhile.. That's what great grandparents are made of.

Grand old stories, tales of glory, shared homemade pie, a wink of an eye, endearing ways, lemonade on hot days, pats on the knee, loves make-believe... That's what great-grandparents are made of.

Time for roses, kisses on noses, roots and wings, heirlooms and things. Family pride, a hand to guide, a grandchild's treasure, love beyond measure... That's what great grandparents are made of." ©
