Eric's mom passed away on her 90th birthday. Our children called her "TC" for Texas City Grandma. She was a precious, sweet lady and we will miss her so much.
She loved kissing her grand babies and playing patty cake!
She took the grandchildren to Rainforest Cafe almost every visit.
She loved the Texas bluebonnets at her farm in Shiner.
Georgia loved to cruise, and we took her on this one to Alaska after Papa passed away.
She was always so hospitable, instilling a strong faith in her family and never slowed down.
