Ollie, Ollie oxen free!

Grandma P died around 8:00 PM today.

"Ollie, Ollie oxen free!" was one of her favorite phrases. She used to shout it as a child to let her sibs know that it was time to come home. And throughout her life right up until her death, that phrase would never fail to produce a laugh or a smile.

Time to come home Grandma. I hope you're having fun wherever you are.

I want to say *something* that doesn't come across as cold, cliche, or insincere. Hrm. Sometimes I feel really inept at communicating emotion :/

I guess I just wanted to say I was thinking about you & Tree and your families and wish emotional peace for you all.

Probably cliche, but true regardless.
