Mama- today in the car Cadge says to me.. ye know tray .. I think its a happy thing that grandma died... because she was always hurting so much and she tried to hang on for too long and and in all that pain .,. so I think that its happy that she died. I said im not sure if happy is the right word for it ... but yes I do agree... that Jesus in his mercy took grandmas pain away by taking her to heaven. I asked him.. why do you say grandma hung in here for too long.. what was she hanging in here for .. when she was sufferring so terribly? and he says .. 'me' (meaning him).. I love and miss you mama..but it was time to trust me with these babies .. and myself.. and let go.. so you can be with my baby brother .. and walk the streets of heaven whole and pain free.. it was past time mama ..for you to feel joy and laughter again and I pray you in fact are feeling those at this moment.. I love you.

While I am sad to see you go, I'm so glad you are no longer suffering. It is comforting to know we will see each other again because we accepted Jesus as our Savior. You will be missed ... I love you.
