Grandmothers are special. I know you will truly miss her. It is a pleasure knowing that God is with us during the difficult times in our lives and that her spirit is with God. May you look to God who is the only one who can give us the comfort that we need. Trust Him and you will have the peace that surpasses all understanding.
Sorry I missed the funeral, but I will be by to see you all this week.
