Kims Grandma

8 1/2 years ago, Kim's grandma lived in Sacramento. She was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease. Lou Gehrig's disease starts in one place in the body- leg for her grandma- and weakens the muscles, then it spread through the body. 3 years later, she moved to Sheridan, Oregon cause she knew she was close to death. By then, she'd was on a cane, went to a wheelchair, and eventually had a moter scooter. A little while later, she couldn't move at all and grandpa had to get her everything. Kim's mom visited alot. The last time Kim saw her grandma was Thanksgiving in 2006, they had to have dinner without her because she couldn't move. Kim gave her something she made in school, but she had to read it to her because her grandma couldn't read and then Kim's mom had to translate cause she couldn't talk. In December, she passed away. The funeral was in a church and after the ceremony they took her up onto a hill and made cards and drew pictures for her, then they barried her.
