I'm very sad to say that my Grandma Pate passed away on Saturday January 23rd at the ripe old age of 96 1/2 years. I am so thankful that David and I called her on Saturday morning and let her talk to Drake because only a few short hours after that phone call, she passed away peacefully in her home.
Grandma seemed to be invincible, having lived through brain surgery, colon cancer and a hip replacement (2 of these were in the last 3 years). I was sure that she was going to make it to 100. I will miss her dearly, especially her fantastic sense of humor and her unwavering faith.
