Grandma JoJo, 1927-2013


Grandma JoJo (Joyce) passed away last week. She was 86.

Here's her obit.

Grandma used to make me enchiladas when I was in college. And she made the best enchiladas.

Grandma really loved my kids. She enjoyed seeing them. She even came up to Lawrence for Evey's birthday last year, which was a real shock.

I wasn't as close to my grandma as my cousins were, or my second-cousins. Maybe because, like my sister, I moved away from Wichita when I was 19. Most of the rest of the cousins stayed in that area, so they could visit her more frequently. 

But I was her only grandson, so I had that going for me. And I know she was impressed that a half-Mexican could grow so tall.

No more worries, Grandma Joyce. Rest in peace.
