Hermina Raak

This afternoon my grandma went to her eternal home. She will be missed by our family and many others, but I feel blessed to have had her for a grandma for the past 27 years. She was always a very sweet and loving grandma and I'm thankful that she could have such a full long life here on earth.

The visitation will be Wednesday night and also Thursday morning followed by the funeral Thursday morning. I have another doctor's appointment tomorrow afternoon so hopefully nothing has changed since last week so that I can go to the visitation and funeral.
