Remington, On May 31, 2011 a wonderful person in our lives passed away and went to heaven. It was your Triple G (Great Grandma Glick). On June 6th, 2011, you, Dad, and I attended her memorial service to pay our respects. She was definitely a passionate, interesting individual. She loved you dearly and thought you would grow up to do amazing things within this world. Triple G had the gift of insight and indicated you would be a very kind person...
She took the time before her death, despite her worsening Parkinson's disease, to write out a family history for you.
Oh, how I wish you could know her in your teenage and young adult years. She gave me a sense of professionalism...when I was about 16 and concerned about the entire interview process she gave me terrific advice, she suggested that I use the verbiage "thank you for your time," and write out thank you notes to those I interviewed with -- techniques I continue to use that have provided opportunities I believe I would not otherwise have. She re-enforced a love of reading that I acquired from Grandma Halverson (my Mom) reading to me...she liked to quilt and cook and was really great at both, although self-taught. I hope through knowing your cousins and the rest of Triple G's clan, you will get to know what an icon she was in our family.
May you always have someone to talk to that inspires and gives advice that helps propel you towards your goals and living your "best life."
Love: Forever and X Infinity,
Mommie.
