Chad and Max having a nice laugh with Grandma LaRueMy Grandma LaRue is 96 years old and lives just south of Salt Lake. We don't get to see her as much as I would like but we did last night. We took the kids up to her care center and visited with her for family home evening. We had a nice time with her. It was hard to leave, she wanted so badly for us to stay, but as we visited with her it made me realize what she has seen and been through in her life. 
Tyler and Sydney with Grandma
My Grandma has been without my Grandpa for over 20 years. I don't know how many of you know this but my Grandpa dissappeared when he was 81 years old. He went on a walk (they lived out in the desert) and we never heard from him again. There has never been a trace of him since. That was a very difficult time for our family, especially Grandma. I can't help but think that she is ready to see him again and find out what happened to him. She is a lovely woman who I admire and respect. I am grateful my children have had the chance to get to know their Great Grandma. She truly is a righteous example and role model to our family.
I love you Grandma!!!
Raegan, Grandma LaRue and Kalli

oh cas, i remember your grandpa doing that and i am sad for your family having to go through that, especially your grandma--it is sad to watch our grandmas have to go on with life w/out their sweethearts(both of my grandpas have passed away and my grandmas are still alive, it's hard to watch them be alone)---what a great family home evening, i am going to have to do that--it has been hard for us to get over to see our loved ones, that would be special to make it a fhe activity--you always have such great ideas!!!
Ditto to what steph sais. How tough for your family to go thru that. Your grandma looks good for 96. What a great looking grandma.
Those are great pictures! Grandma looks wonderful! I can't wait for this summer when we will be able to see her again.
That is so sad for your family, I had no idea about your grandpa LaRue. What an exciting FHE. My kids see their great-grandma's (grandpa's have passed away) once a month. Only because we invite them to our home. My kids have NEVER been to my Great-grandma Steverson's home. I think they would really enjoy seeing the family photos. Just seeing the loving home their Pop Pop came from! Next monday watch out Grandma Margie here we come!!!!!!!
Oh Cass, I had forgot that...
What a sad sad nightmare that has had to have been for your family. My stars it breaks my heart! I wonder what his story will be for your grandma, about where he has been all this time...
Can you just imagine that reunion? What a blessed get-together that will be! ♥ya
