This funny grandma’s last goodbye

A very funny grandmother gave her loved ones one last BIG laugh at her funeral.

Jodie Perryman died of cancer on Oct. 12 at the age of 81.  Gracie Perryman and other guests got together for her funeral and one last big goodby, last Tuesday. Little did they know, they would say goodbye with something that had everybody laughing! The last big laugh, hand-crafted paper Ouija boards from Jodie that said, “Let’s keep in touch.”

Gracie, took to twitter, “Received this at my grandmas funeral. What an icon!”

“It was hysterical,” Gracie said. “And everybody was like, of course, that’s so Jodie of her.”

Gracie said her grandmother’s health declined pretty quickly over the summer.

Everyone was dying, laughing. It was hilarious, because that was so her.

Jodie will be remembered as a firecracker with a great sense of humor and a huge heart. She loved her family.
