Pinewood Derby

This afternoon was the annual Pinewood Derby. 

Luke's car was a big disaster and to top it off, Great Nanny passed away yesterday. I guess you could say that this wasn't the best Pinewood Derby for us. Lukas put a lot of time into his car and we didn't want him to miss out on one of his favorite scout events. New this year, our pack held a "Sibling Race" which Landon participated and loved. We didn't have time to make him a car, so he used Luke's car from last year. It turned out that Luke's car wasn't the fastest or slowest! Maybe next will be his year!

Bye, Bye for now ...

She was so strong and beautiful
She had a loving family and lots of friends
She was a grandmother that meant so much to me

But I never imagined the picture saying goodbye
Never thought the day would come
That I would see her one last time...

Coyle, Isabel E.

Her family encourages memorials be made in her honor to the American Cancer Society or to First United Methodist Church. 

Isabel was not Grandma. She was Nanny! 
(If you did call her grandma, she would warn you once. "It's Nanny, not Grandma! Don't say that again or I'll clobber you")

The Stargazer was her favorite flower. 

I'm so thankful for all the wonderful time I shared with her and I'll cherish those memories the rest of my life. Most importantly, I'm so thankful that my two boys knew her and have memories of their own.

She was the center of our family and will be missed everyday. 

Nanny, may you rest in peace with all our other loved ones and our wonderful father above!

Bye, Bye for now! (This is how she is always said goodbye)
