RIP, Grandma

Grandma Rahe was a unique woman. I don’t have many memories, but she is likely the grandparent I knew the best. She always helped me out financially when I needed it—once or twice even giving me money for a car. She was always encouraging to me, especially about my education. I was not able to get to her funeral because of teaching; I regret that. I know she died pretty quickly, and I hope she did not suffer in the end. Rest in peace, Grandma.
