One year and counting... 'Til We Meet Again
Merry Christmas Gramma Jo. We all miss you so much and can't wait to be with you again. So here we go, one year and counting, 'til we meet again.
JoAnn Annabelle Kimball was reunited with her little Dale, some of her siblings and her parents on December 22, 2007. That Christmas was not as bright without her there, but it was filled with the spirit of love and hope. The most amazing thing about that Christmas was that we could still feel her with us, it was a great testimony to us that there is life after death.
She was a beautiful lady inside and out.
Gramma and Chase: Gramma loved her grandkids more than anything in the whole world. She used to sing "Put your arms around me honey, hold me tight! Cuddle up and snuggle up with all your might!" as she would rock us back and forth in the rocking chair. We all loved cuddling up with Gramma.
She was a singing, kissing, hugging, playful, cuddling, laughing, baby-snuggling, spend-the-night, oatmeal-making gramma.
Gramma had a great sense of humor, and the best smile. She had a gift for making everyone she came in contact with feel special.
She was a thoughtful and fun friend.
Gramma and her brother Leon: Leon used to call 'Joanie' everyday pretty much and they would just laugh. Gramma loved those calls.
When Craig was on his mission I would call her and read her his letters whenever I got one. She was so fun to talk to. I will never forget the time I was talking to her about Craig (shortly after we graduated from high school) and how frustrating and confusing he was and she just looked at me and said, "Jordy, you know he loves you." I didn't say anything in reply, but right then and there I knew she was right. She said she knew Craig was the one for me the first time she met him when he came to get me for the homecoming dance.
She was a psychic.
Gramma and Hunter at Hunter's Eagle Court of Honor: Gramma went to everything! She never wanted to miss out on any of her kid's or grandkid's events. Family always came first, and always meant everything.
She was a first-hand, hands-on, I'll always be there for ya Gramma.
Gramma's last birthday: Haley and I had Gramma over to my house for a birthday breakfast of apple pancakes and fruit. I love her smile.
She was a party Gramma.
We had such a fun time talking and being together. For some reason I felt like I needed to interview her and set up my video camera. Haley played a good little interviewer, she would even ask the next question before there was a full answer! HAha! We loved hearing stories about life on the orchard ranch in Mesa and all of her adventures growing up. (Right now those videos are too big to upload, but I'll work on it.)
She was a celebrity when it came to Grammas.
Gramma and Chase at the airport when Chase returned from his mission in Chile: Like I said, she was there for everything. She loved her missionaries.
She was a proud Gramma.
Heaven couldn't be home to a more qualified angel Gramma. :) 'Oh I believe there are angels amoung us...'
