1905

1905.....that was the year my great-grandma Laura Sharer was born.  She was a wonderful Grandma that I have many fond memories of!  She passed away this past Tuesday in her sleep at Courtney Manor where she was living.  Her mind was so sharp and even during her last visit to my Mom and Dad's house she had to have her Budweiser!!!  This past summer she was able to meet Norah and I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to get a 5 generations picture.  We will cherish those pictures forever.  It was so amazing to see this new life being held by a woman who has seen 105 years of life-changing events.  I just wanted to commemorate Grandma with a few of my favorite pictures of her!  We love you Grandma!

I absolutely love this next sequence of pictures. Grandma insisted on putting her lipstick on!!!

The expressions on my Mom's and aunts faces are priceless!

Thanksgiving 2009 ~ Kelly, Grandma Kaczuk, Arianna and Grandma Sharer

This was at Kelly's (my Mom's sister) surprise birthday party last year. 

This is one set of the 5 generations in the family.  My Grandma Sharer, Grandma Kaczuk (her daughter), Uncle Tom (my Mom's brother), his son TJ and his daughter Lucie!

I was about 5 or 6 weeks pregnant in this picture.  I was dying to tell everyone, especially Grandma, but they had to wait until Thanksgiving to find out! 

I was just hoping to be able to get a 5 generation picture with our baby girl and we were blessed enough to get that opportunity!

So many great memories!  We will miss you Grandma!
