The day before my parents where scheduled to fly out of Salt Lake on their way to visit my sister in Iowa, we heard the news that my grandma passed away. She entered the hospital on Christmas Eve after taking a fall and her health quickly declined. It was a big blessing that not only were they still in town, but that both of my parents were able to be there for the funeral, considering had they gone back to Korea my mom most likely would've been the only one to come.
My grandma was sassy, sweet, full of spunk and loved her family very much. I'm glad she is free from ailments and pain. We will miss her.
