Isabel Engeman (1907-2004)
My grandmother passed away around noon today. She had lived long enough and it was time to go. That was the way Izzy always was. When she made up her mind, that's how it was going to be.
As I think about her life, I can't help but think that Izzy was born before the first Model-T rolled off the assembly line and she lived long enough to have her grandson remember her on a blog. I know that people all over the world will read this. And that is an amazing thing. It might not have made her too happy, but it makes me feel better.
I'll miss you Izzy.
My condolences... But what a nice post.

Very sorry to hear that your grandma passed away. Maybe you could write a short piece on where she was born, where she lived, what she did, how she met your grandpa. I love hearing stories about people's families.
