Dorothy Mae Shaffner

February 16, 1923 - January 31, 2013 

Can you hear the music? Do you feel the joy? 

The party started at 5:00 tonight and has been going on ever since! 

I wish I could have seen Mema's face when everyone welcomed her Home! 

Or seen "their" faces as she "danced" thru the doors! 

All the hugs, all the kisses, all the happy laughter! 

Oh what a party! Can you hear it?!

 

When we talked about her passing,

she told me to make sure and tell everyone:

"There she goes!

She had a Great time while she was here!"

Yes she did!

You will be missed Mema

The beginning party line is from a dear friend  of mine,

 when her mother passed away this year.

What a lovely picture

and how very true!

Grandpa and she are dancing and celebrating again!

Last days

Hil and I went to see Mema today at the nursing home.
It has been three weeks since I saw her because I broke my foot.
The last time I was with her, she was in the hospital
after her pace maker battery failed.
Today she had deteriorated so much in such a short time.
I won't go into details because it is very sad.
I love that my baby girl is with me in this.
Bless her tender heart.
I love how strong my mom has been it taking care of her mom
with the help of my dad.
We are Mema's constants.
We have been blessed to be.

So with the love of friends and their advice,
I am going to share a photo dump of the pics I have on the computer now.
What a wonderful, strong, funny, hard working, loving, determined, particular
put together, feisty, frugal, long suffering, beautiful, country, loved,
always smiling, always caring, inspiring woman I have ever known.

If you knew her, you are so lucky!
If you didn't, I feel bad for you....but wait for the party she will be throwing in heaven!
