She was a great Nana to the kids, letting them get away with things we wouldn't...as nanas should. She was in pain the last few years but still wanted, and was willing, to spend time with the kids, which we appreciated immensely. If there is something after death, it's nice thinking that she may be pain and worry free, able to see the kids whenever she wants.

God called your name so softly
That only you could hear
And no-one heard the footsteps
Of angels drawing near
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you did not go alone
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home
