My grandmother, Dorothy May Humes Clark passed away yesterday early morning. After having battled with cancer and the onset of Alzheimer's disease she died at the age of 89 following her husband who died in 2005 also at the age of 89. I am glad that I have some pleasant memories of them both from when I was little and growing up. My grandparents were born during and shortly after WWI, in high school and got married during the depression, and their first child at the beginning of WWII, and they had seen so many changes to our country in the almost a century that they lived their lives. They raised 5 children and saw the birth 11 grandchildren and multiple great grandchildren.
They had retired by the time my brothers and I were born and while we lived in Rhode Island for a few short years, they took us to see so many different places in the New England area, and taught us a plethora of card and board games that we still play and enjoy today. I have missed my grandfather the years he has been gone, and I will miss my grandmother as well. I am glad that I have memories and photographs to remember them by.
I will Miss You
