Kym, again I am very sorry for your loss. It looks like your Grandmother had a great life. To be able to share in the joy of the lives of 12 grandchildren and 24 great grand children is amazing. I could only hope to live as long as she did and watch my children grow, their children and my childrens children. May she rest in peace and enjoy her eternal life with her husband up in heaven. Many blessings to you and your family.

Kym, again, sorry for your loss. Wow, she was one lucky woman to have shared in the joy of the lives of her 12 grandchildren and 24 great grandchildren. It sounds like she had a very fulfilling life. Not too many people are that lucky. I could only hope to live as long as she did and be able to watch my children grow and their children and my children's children. May she now rest in eternal peace with the love of her life up in heaven.
