Grandpa & Grandpa Huff




My Grandmother passed away today in her sleep. She was 96 years old and had lived a very full life. I know that my Grandmother has passed on to a better place, but it is still sad that she won't be part of our life here on earth any longer. She will be missed.


I am named after my grandmother, and so is Gretta. It has been such a privilege and an honor to be named after such an amazing and special person. My Grandmother had a special enthusiasm for life. She loved to be the life of the party, she loved to help others, and she was a very caring and kind person.


My Grandparents moved to Boise when I was a child, so I got to spend lots of time with them. I have many memories of my Grandmother doing daily activities with me and being part of my daily life. She was always such a good champion of her grandchildren. She loved me very much. She also loved my children very much, especially Gretta.

When I went away to college my Grandmother wrote me every week. She would always include a dollar in each letter, and I remember I would use it to do my laundry for the week. She also wrote me each week of my mission. She wanted to make sure that I felt loved. She use to say that Grandchildren don't really realize that grandparents love them as much as their own parents. I know that my Grandma loved me and my family too.

My Grandmother always had a strong testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. She had so much faith. One of my favorite memories is being in the Temple with my Grandmother.

We will miss you Grandma!

Love,

Gretchen
