I am so glad my grandmother is at peace with her husband and sons and many others who have waited so long for her smile.... and now I know she is near in a new way for me and I feel that spirit already.

I am grateful for the many years I had a grandmother. She was like the Energizer Bunny, and did keep going and going, and that is rare...

Thank you to all who have recently helped her and us, the family, keep her going and the last few years of caregiving. It is very meaningful to know how much she meant to all.
