In Memory...

My dearest Grammy Barbara passed away this AM just after midnight. It is truly a blessing that the good Lord took her home and away from all the suffering and pain and agony that she has been in this past week. I must say that she definitely would not have wanted that and I think she has been tired and ready to go home for a while now. The funeral probably will be Thursday or Friday and I can say this will be a very hard time for the whole family but I am going to try and remember the good times rather than the bad/sick times because I honestly think that is what she would have wanted. My mom has said she thinks I should write something to be read or to say something at the funeral, but I think that Grammy would understand that I cannot stand in front of all those people and talk or have anything that I want them to read aloud either. I have decided that I think I will write her a letter and I will seal it in an envelope and put it in the casket with her. That is a way I can talk privately to her and she will know what is in my heart and she will have it with her forever.

Grammy Barbara - As you look down from heaven, I hope you know how much we all loved you and how important and how much of an influence you were to all of us. You will be remembered, loved and in our hearts forever. Send those hugs and kisses down from above to all of us and always watch over us; you will always be our guardian angel. You are loved and will be missed more than words can ever describe.
