My grandpa lost my grandma to colon cancer in 2004. He married Liz in 2005 and were happy to be together. They were a good team. My girls love her to bits, and know her as Grandma (since my grandma died when Oldest was 16 months old). We called her Grandma Liz or Grandma Gibbs.
Well, Grandpa lost Liz to cancer in November 2011. Her headstone was ready to be put on the grave, so he drove it down to Beazer Cemetery. You've never heard of it? Don't worry, not many people have.
We went down to Stirling for Easter, and Paul and I went out to Beazer to help GG put the headstone on her grave. It was her birthday. 6 April 1935 was her birth date.

Headstones are heavy.

My grandma's grave. Grandpa will be buried there, too.
It was tear-jerking. His careful, methodical and exact manner.
