Our little Grandma Knudson, known to us grandkids as G-nizzle, passed away on Friday, May 9, 2008. I headed off to Italy 2 weeks ago, and she was not expected to make it through the night, but I called home every night to check on her, and her health started to improve. I got home last Wednesday, and my grandma was doing pretty good. Friday morning she called me at 7:00 AM, and was all panicking, she was like, "I need help, I need help". I jumped from my bed, and was frantically looking for my shoes, and I replied, "what do you need, what is wrong", and she simply said, "I need a blender". I was confused and asked if she needed help before I got the blender, or after. She said, "I just need a blender". I laughed, and went over to the care center. I got there, and G-nizzle had applesauce and yogurt on her plate, I was not so sure what I was supposed to blend. It was really funny!
I will miss my cute Grandma, she was always so optimistic and happy, even when she was in pain. I never heard her complain, and she was one of the strongest people I know. I have had the opportunity to live next to her for the past year, and I have loved getting to know her better, and spending time with her. I will miss getting her breakfast in the mornings, and her soup at night. I will miss her concerning voice when she sent me off to school, I will miss our time spent at the grocery store, and the dollar store, where she purchased all of her "treasures". I will miss her sense of humor, and her cute little laugh, I will miss her love for life, and her desire to always make me a better person. Some of the things that remind me of my Grandma are: Oranges (she loved her oranges), flashlights (she always had to have one), popcorn and pickles (she always had a little stash), peacocks (she collected all their feathers), and "treasures" (she has so many nicknacks hidden in her house). I will miss my grandma, but I know that she is also running around without her oxygen tank in heaven, and loving life! Love you Grammy "K"!

I'm sorry for your loss, but it sounds like you have some great memories of your grandma. She sounds like a spit-fire!
It's always hard to lose loved ones. If this is the grandma you were talking about, I'm glad you got to do your grocery shopping with her while she was still here. :)
