Death and Life

My grandma passed away this morning. Here is an email that my aunt sent out which I think says what I would....

Our mother went to meet the Lord early this morning. We were watching by her side for the last 2 days, as she slowly lost hold on this physical body she called home for almost 93 years (would have been on Mar 2). So today, as we worship with fellow believers, singing those old familiar hymns, we will think of her singing in Glory with not only Dad, but with so many others who have gone before her.

The joy we have shared as a family together in the last 2 days has been incredible. Stories, laughter, and corrections on the stories have been priceless. Lil arrived Friday night, and Rick and Irene were here by yesterday afternoon. Mom recently said that having a family that got along together was so important and we certainly have experienced that in the last 48 hours. How truly blessed we are for the legacy that both Mom and Dad have given us.
