Klea Fae Wright
March 8, 1929- October 2, 2011
After struggling with liver cancer for quite some time, Nick's grandma, Klea Fae Wright, passed away on Sunday. She was a wonderful mother and grandmother and I feel so blessed to have met her. I am also grateful that Charlize was able to meet her, too. Grandma Wright loved children, especially babies, and she always loved to hold Charlize. In fact, Grandma loved to remind us that she was the first grandma that got to hold Charlize in the hospital.

About a week before she passed, Nick, Charlize and I were able to go up and visit her in Moses Lake. It was obvious that Grandma was sick and very tired but she was so happy to see us.

This visit also gave us a chance to visit with other family members:
Shelby and Grandma Skyping with Stacie

It was a great visit and we are so glad that we were able to spend some more time with Grandma. The best part for me was right before we left--Grandma went back in the house to hold Charlize one more time. Lately, Charlize will not let anyone hold her in a cradled position but Grandma took her in her arms and Charlize just looked up at her and sat there so quiet, without any fussing, and just let Grandma hold her and talk to her.
It was a beautiful thing to watch.
Grandma, we love and miss you!! Thanks for everything you have given us!
