Hello everyone, this is Kelly writing. Today I learned that my great grandmother, Zelma Young, passed away on Friday, February 19th. She was 92 years old and led a long, full life. Katie and I had the opportunity to visit with her last Labor Day in Woodland Park, CO, where she lived with her daughter, my aunt Sharon, and it was a great experience. I remember how she walked outside of her room for the first time in weeks to spend time with us, and to show us all the places she'd been on the U.S. map. She also had a lot of old photographs in her room, and it was amazing to see how young my dad, uncle and grandfather looked in some of them. She even saved a thank you letter that I had sent her from at least 10 years ago, and my aunt Sharon mentioned that she still read it from time to time. It was the first time Katie had met her, and one of the few times I have met her in my life. I'm so glad Katie had the chance to meet my great grandmother before she passed away. I know it meant a lot to Katie too. I didn't know her as well as I may have liked, but I do know she will be missed greatly by her family, and she will be in our prayers. Thank you...
Kelly
