I have come to learn that not many people can say their grandparents are still alive when they are in their 40s. I am thankful that Nanny lived such a long life and enjoyed good health for most of her years. I have many memories of her and am thankful that we got to do a couple of special trips through the Rocky Mountains together. One of my favourite memories of Nanny occurred on one such trip when she confidently entered and went looking for open hotel room doors at the iconic Prince of Wales Hotel in Waterton National Park in Alberta so she could go into the rooms and see what they looked like. Another special memory was of her treating us to her homemade seafood chowder. I appreciate that she always made time for us to visit with her whenever we were home and always took an interest in our lives, even though we lived so far away. I know she will be greatly missed, and I take comfort that she will live on in the shared memories we have of her.
