But he also feels blessed, he explained: \u201cBlessed that our entire immediate family was able to be together and say goodbye, something I know Mom would have loved. Blessed that my children had a great relationship with their Nana. Blessed that I had such a role model as her with me for 46 years. Blessed that we still have such an incredible Papa in my Dad. So Mom, please know that you were loved by everyone you met. You have run an incredible race that is now done. You can rejoice and dance, and sing, and see all of those you have lost and missed over your life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"ct:story;elm:img;itc:0;\" class=\"stretched-box\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/tv\/articles\/hgtv-jenny-dave-marrs-latest-141049733.html\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"HGTV's Jenny &amp; Dave Marrs' Latest 'Fixer to Fabulous' Update\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"539\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/ZFPpFvWnkOTMgmkbl6v26Q--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTUzOTtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/tv_insider_639\/0c22ac4c1b49dddafcc749022b611e8d\"\/><\/div>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p>HGTV&#8217;s Jenny &amp; Dave Marrs&#8217; Latest &#8216;Fixer to Fabulous&#8217; Update<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Related<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"mb-4 text-lg font-bold\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/tv\/articles\/hgtv-jenny-dave-marrs-latest-141049733.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:HGTV's Jenny &amp; Dave Marrs' Latest 'Fixer to Fabulous' Update;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">HGTV&#8217;s Jenny &amp; Dave Marrs&#8217; Latest &#8216;Fixer to Fabulous&#8217; Update<\/a><\/h3>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DO1EK0qDvdK\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:her post;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">her post<\/a> on Saturday, Jenny wrote that she hopes she can follow her late mother-in-law\u2019s example. \u201cShe taught me how to live and love well,\u201d she wrote. \u201cShe taught me how to be the kind of mother-in-law and the kind of grandmother who I can\u2019t even begin to imagine this earth without.
