Grandma Phyllis Diekman passed away last week. She lived life the right way. She always greeted you with a smile and made everyone feel welcome in her presence. She lived with honor, pride, strength and love. She was an example of how to live and her legacy lives on with all those she impacted.
We move through the motions of the day to day and it’s easy to lose focus of what is important. When you look back through the years we recognize the people who stand out and establish the values that define a family. Grandma Phyllis and Grandpa Frank did that for the Diekman family. Their consistency, love for each other and deliberate dedication to be an example of how to live life right is a reminder that we can all be better.
I was fortunate enough to spend some time with Grandma Phyllis. I wish I didn’t take it for granted. As I have had some time to reflect on her and realized the great affect she had on Meghan I recognize that I have an obligation to be a better person. At the end of the day there is one thing that matters and it is the example that we set to our family and friends. The best way to honor our great family members is to continue to live by their example. Thank you Grandma Phyllis for being that example.
