For those who die, life is CHANGED not ended.

For those who survive, what a consoling thought as well.

May 23, 2009

"If the Lord brings you to it, he'll bring you through it."

Hoping and praying for PEACE to get you all THROUGH this time.

Now that the funeral is passed, may you each settle into the peace of day to day living, confident your mother is now praying for you in a position of power.

Let to and let God (and Louise).

Grandma thank you for teaching me how to live. I have learned so much from you. I feel so lucky to have had the great honor of growing up with you in my life. You attended all of my life's little accomplishments. I will miss your sense of humor, your smile and your laugh. Most of all I will miss your hugs and kisses. I will love you forever and you will forever be with my and my children. Love you, Jenny

So very sorry for your loss. She was like my second mother when we were growing up. She did wonders with her large family and you all should be proud of all her accomplishments. She may be gone, but she will never be forgotten. May the Lord give you the strength to make it through this sad time. All my love and sympathy to you and yours.
