1917-2011

Josh's Grandmum, Roberta Gibson, passed away a week ago today at 93 years old. It's been a tough/busy/emotional couple of weeks for us!

Grandmum was always so kind and welcoming to us when we would go visit her in Taxis River. She loved to call Josh "my first grandchild", and Josh's aunt Jane told us that she would refer to Isaac and Simon as "those precious boys" when she talked about us. Not many people get to meet their great-grandparents, but we are so happy that our kids have had the opportunity to meet 4 of theirs.

Here are a couple pictures of  a  visit to Grandmum's.

Looks like she and Josh are telling Isaac to smile for the camera...

...too bad he didn't oblige. :)

And here they are with the rest of their Gibson family (except Aunt Jane), who live right next door.

And here is Isaac playing with aunt Jane in front of Grandmum's house

Oh Jane, I'm so sorry. They sound like they were pretty fantastic women who lived full lives! We're thinking of you all.
