In loving Memory of Isabel Dieter: 1912-2007




Isabel Dieter passed away this morning after living 12 days past her 95th Birthday!!

In her final days, we were with her to tell her it was OK to go and be with her husband George and her late son Jonny. We went to visit her yesterday to say our final goodbyes at her home where she passed early this morning in her sleep.

Grandma had lived a wonderful life. Always looking so proper with her tidy outfits, matching shoes, and pocket book (that's what she called them). Her hair and makeup nicely done and her hands always manicured. It was such a treat for her to be able to meet two of her great grand babies. She lit up when Avery & Danielle were around, she loved to hold them and give them kisses.

As hard as it is to bear that she's gone, it's comforting to know she's finally with my grandpa and the rest of her friends. I'm sure they're all asking her what took so long. :) But I know she's raving to them about what a wonderful time she had with her family and friends before she left. Now she can get back to knitting and playing bridge with her friends. For now she'll be sitting on our shoulders guiding us along on our adventures ahead.

We love you Grandma. You'll be missed dearly.

What a lovely picture of your grandmother and a nice tribute. She was amazing and was sharp until the very end. Sorry I didn't know her longer- we could have enjoyed some bridge.
I know you'll miss her a lot.
