Grandma Baker

Jane's Grandma, Virginia Belle Baker passed away on July 12th.  She died peacefully at home in her sleep with Jane's Mom by her side.  She lived 92 full and beautiful years, was married for over 50 years to H.T. Baker, raised 3 children, loved up her 7 grandchildren (and their spouses!) and lived to see and enjoy 2 of her 4 great grandchildren.  We are thankful she is with the Lord now.

This weekend friends and family gathered in Woodbridge, Virginia (her home of over 35 years) to celebrate and commemorate her life with a memorial service at her old church, Good Shepherd Lutheran.  It was a wonderful time of fellowship and praise to the Lord for her life.





Meredith and Lila were thrilled to see each other for the day!

Baby Ellie was of course a highlight of the event and cuddled by all of us throughout the day.
