My Grandma passed away in the middle of June. I was very close to her. When I first began having children, she traveled often to see me. Here is a photo of Grace in Gram's lap during one visit. Grace Eileen is named after her.
Marta and I went to Baltimore and flew to Rhode Island. We then rented a car and drove 2 hours to Cape Cod. She was a trooper and did great.
We made sure to visit a few of our favorite places while there. Here we are at Ben and Bills sweet shop. I love the selection of fudge.

Almost every great grandchild and grandchild was there during the week. Here we are at the funeral home playing with the babies.
My grandma loved Paul's pizza so we ordered it after the wake. Some cousins went to the Tides hotel and hung out on the porch together.
This is Kylie. Kylie is my mom's adopted cousin's daughter-in-law. My grandma loved Kylie.
My mom and I got a lobster roll to share.
This is the cemetery where Gram was buried. It is also the cemetery where my grandpa is buried along with Katharine Lee Bates.
This is my cousin's wife Elise. She is a caterer and her mom made some mini tarts. We all took one for the funeral procession.
My cousin Kelsey and her fiancée Jake were so helpful to me and held Marta while she slept. I had a part in the funeral mass so they held the baby so I could do my part.
Saint Patrick's Church is my grandma's church but it also where my parents got married and many of my relatives. This is also where we had the funeral mass .
This is my Gram's final place of rest. The flowers were beautiful so we made sure to take a photo. I was so thankful I was able to be a part of a wonderful and sad weekend celebrating my Gram and her life with those that I love.
