Saying Goodbye to Grandma

On October 5th, 2008, in Hilo, Hawaii, the Wilson family gathered to say goodbye to a wonderful and beloved Mother, Grandma, and Great-Grandma.

It was a very moving, sad, and celebratory service, with Cousin Rick getting up and sharing wonderful memories, and everyone sharing stories about her, and her wonderful life.

We will all miss her very much, and are happy that she is in heaven now.
