Got "The call"

Well tonight I got the call that grandma Joan had passed. Oh man, She was 71, She knew her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She went fast and that is good. She had a full life and was a wonderful person. She will be missed. I know she is in a better place and the fact that she didn't suffer is comforting. She passed while taking a bath. It was, as she said the only thing she could do without the rest of us "in her face" She had a wonderful heart and a caring way that no one could ever duplicate. She and my grandfather raised me from 12 on. When my wife and I ended up raising her 2 brothers I asked her what was I going to do and she said I would do just fine and I think I did. But without her encouragement throughout my life I don't know what I would Of done. I am now sitting here and wondering what will I do without her? I love her and miss her so. she was and still is such an important part of my life that I am wondering what now? I know this is selfish but I can't help it. I always knew that she would go before me, but I was not prepared for it. I am thinking about how we always would get the Lady with everything some gift for mothersday that she already had three of and she would always act like she had never seen it before. My wife and her were ially close, I now have to wake her and let her know. I am not asking for or needing any responses, I just had to let someone know that someone very special had passed.

Good bye Gram George,
Love always,
The other Bones

I have lit a candle on my mantlepiece that will burn quietly throughout the day for that a Grand Elder has departed in grace to watch over us all from on high.

Amen.

On behalf of my family and myself, I am very sorry. You can't be a grandmother without being a great lady. My deepest condolences.

Chuck

I also express my sympathy. I know about losing a grandmother. In January of 2001 (Superbowl Sunday), my grandmother had a stroke while she and my grandfather were in Florida (they had gone down for a few months every year for nearly 20 years). She was rushed to the hospital but it was too late to reverse the affects of the stroke. She never did get better and eventually died on March 6th 2001. Luckily, my mother, aunt and sister did get to see her before her death. I'm thankful I didn't, though, because I want to have only good memories of her. It was really sad but also a blessing in that she propbably would have never gotten better after her stroke. She was 81 so she lived a good long and happy life. I'm thankful for all the good times we shared. Thank God, my grandfather is doing very well despite this loss.
