What an absolutely marvelous woman she sounds like! You're lucky to have had her in your life ("peter heaters" - I'm rolling over that one). My condolences to your family on your loss. Thank you for sharing Grandma Helen with us.<BR/><BR/>Chris

Right on, Grandma Helen...right on. And somehow, somewhere, she's still going...<BR/><BR/>And she sounds too cool to have ever driven. <BR/><BR/>I am sorry for your family's loss, but I'm thrilled that she was such a woman and that she lived well.

I'm so sorry for your family's loss, Marsha. It's hard to see a good woman go, no matter the age. But I'm sure Grandma Helen is touched to the core by your thoughtful tribute to her. This was beautiful.

It's always difficult to lose a loved one, but somehow stings a bit more when it's around the holidays. I, too, lost my grandmother at Thanksgiving - five years ago. And although she died unexpectedly way too young (78), she too was a woman who lived her life to the fullest. Your wonderful tribute made me smile at the memory of my own grandmother. Thank you!

She sounds like an amazing woman who gave as good as she got. I hope she is up there having just as an incredible time as she did down here. May we al be as blessed in our older years as she.<BR/><BR/>That was beautiful...what an incredible spirit. Peter Heaters indeed....

Dang I pray I am like that when (if) I live to be even close to 102. Peter heaters. That's hilarious, I don't care how old the person is who says it. I'm glad your daughters got to make memories with her.

She must have been very proud to have a granddaughter who could write so beautifully about her. I now feel a little richer just having known her through your words. <BR/><BR/>101 - can't ask for much more than that. RIP Grandma Helen.

aw, grandma helen!! she was great! a real whipper-snapper as my 93 year old grandma gert would say (although she would say it in yiddish so none of us actually understand what the hell she's talking about)<BR/><BR/>sorry that you and yours are experiencing a loss but how great that you can celebrate a life that was truly lived to the fullest.

I'm so sorry for your family's loss. This is a wonderful tribute to her; she sounds like she was a real spitfire.

LOL... she sounds like she was full of life and a tough bird! Just like my Grandmother and my Great Mother and my Great Aunt.<BR/><BR/>She also sounds like she had a long and blessed life... and since she was healthy right up to the end, I bet she was quite content. :) <BR/><BR/>... and she was loved. Which is of course, the most important of all.

What a lovely tribute to an awesome woman. Yes, I hope that I am half that cool when I'm 80, let alone 100. Those old women in Wisconsin are ass-kickers, though, I can say from experience.<BR/><BR/>Rest in peace, Granma Helen, or keep rocking, whichever makes the most sense in the hereafter you've embarked upon.
