my grandmother 'Nana' - Catherine 'Kay' Willette passed away this past weekend. i've been in Maine with my mom and her family prepping and attending the death ritual festivities. it's sad but it really puts things in perspective. life is short, yes, but it is also full, beautiful and always unique.

my gampa's favorite photo. he said, "we had so much fun that day."

nana was an artist and i like to think i got some of her creative abilities

love you Nana! you will be missed but i'm sure you're having a blast and eating lots of chocolate and butterscotch lifesavers - read her obit here
