This is a time of poetry and slowing down as I try to let myself feel and emerge within the grief at the loss of my maternal grandmother, Earla Taylor Woodworth, known affectionately by her grandchildren as Zumu, or “Zoom,” who died on Monday at the age of 93.
What a huge loss Chelsea. Earla was truly a special person. Kind, loving, inclusive, supportive! She lived with grace and purpose. And she was a survivor! Strong and selfless. She was an anchor for the whole Taylor clan. I am so glad that she got to know your son. And, I am so lucky she was my aunt. Hugs to you and your whole family.
Sorry for your loss Diane. I love your descriptions of your Aunt Earla, and wish you and all your family comfort and love during this time of grief and loss.
Feelings of condolence for you and the whole family. She was so warm and kind when I had a few moments of meeting her online and at your wedding ceremony. Hugs and love as you find your way to feel and emerge within the grief. Zumu is an adorable nickname.
Thank you so much for your kind words and hugs!
