Grandma Marilyn

Grandma Marilyn Nestman passed away February 17, 2008. I knew her for almost eight years and was impressed by her many qualities. Marilyn was full of smiles and laughter, spoke with flowery language and was quick to let you know how "wonderful" she thought you were. She had severe arthritis for over thirty years and must feel such relief to have a healthy spirit that allows her to move and be as she once was. She had previously been quite the athlete; she loved tennis and golf and raised five adventurous boys. An impressionable memory I have of her is Christmas Eve in her favorite chair; she had just kicked her tiny legs up over the arm rest and was proudly smiling as she looked over her family. This is a picture I took this same Christmas Eve night at her home with her cutest grandson Lo.
