Grandma Pfautz will remain in our hearts forever.  Even though I am unable to make it to say good-bye here on earth, I am grateful that I was able to see Grandma only a few weeks ago with my daughter and wife on Wednesday, December 23^rd.  Here is the last picture we took with her—priceless!  I remember thinking that day how blessed I was to be able to see her again and even as fragile as she was, she still had her sense of humor.  She made us laugh once again.  I thank the Lord for having her as my grandmother.  I also thank the Lord for allowing my daughter, Celina, to see her great-grandmother every time we would go to Pennsylvania .  I know that we will see Grandma again and when that time comes for us it will be forever with our Lord Jesus. 

Loved always, Joe-Joe
