On August 30th, 1984, Wilma McGrew breathed her last. I was blessed to see her before she passed away. I am the oldest grandson. Wilma was 64 years old, having been born in March of 1920.

My Grandma was special to me and I have missed her every day since losing her to heart disease in that Broken Arrow hospital. This day taught me that we don’t ‘get over’ losing someone really special, we just get used to having the hole in our hearts.
This was the last picture of Wilma before she died on August 30, 1984 - This was taken in May, 1984 while J was on break from Seminary with the Jesuits.
I miss you, Grandma and I never stopped loving you.
