Great-Grandma Elka

Sadly, Jackson's Great-Grandma, Elka (Jerry's grandma), passed away on Friday, February 9th. It was also her 81st birthday. We had planned to make a trip out to Chicago this week so that she & Jackson could meet and spend some time together. Unfortunately, she grew sicker and left us much sooner than we expected. We ended up leaving for Chicago the next day (Saturday, 2/10) so that we could attend the funeral services. It was the least we could do. Because of a snowstorm that unexpectedly blew into Chicago, Jackson and Erica were unable to attend Elka's funeral services. However, Jerry was able to go and see Elka for the last time and say goodbye. We're so sad that she never had the chance to meet little Magoo but find comfort in knowing that she's with him in spirit. We love her very much and we will miss her dearly. Rest in peace, Elka, rest in peace.
-Jerry, Erica, & Jackson
