    BT3 friends & family

    This week while celebrating the birth of a new granddaughter, I got the news that my grandmother was gravely ill. I made a wild dash to Ohio Thursday. Today, as I held her hand, she passed away. She was less than a week shy of her 93rd birthday. Please join me in celebrating the life of this very remarkable lady. She lived a full life, taking everything that was thrown at her without complaint, and lived it on HER terms. She enjoyed relatively good health right to the end and had a mind that was sharp as a tack.
    Her loss is hard to handle right now, but I have only good memories.

    A prayer is on the way Larry. LOML has been gone for less than a month so I know what you are feeling.

        Celebrating her life

        is indeed the thing to do. My grandmother died at the age of 94 and her mind was also sharp right up until the last day or two. She spent less than a week in the hospital and didn't suffer any overwhelming pain. Many people don't make it to a ripe old age or have a good mind in their latter years. Those who do are blessed by God.

        I'll have you in my prayers,

            Larry, your attitude sounds like the way I felt when we lost my Mother. Even for the last 10 weeks in the hospice (Doc said 2, tops!) no one was allowed to display sorrow or grief in her room. Her rule, and if you broke she kicked you out.

            Continue to cherish the good memories her life brought to those around her.

              Your loss is heartfelt and I wish you the best of memories. One of the greatest things we can give each other is the stalwart memory of a life well lived and a happiness that will be remembered when we pass on. Your grandmother sounds like a grand lady and I am sure her love and memory will cherish you and your family well into the future.

                93 years old, with all her mental faculties, and good health to boot. Not to mention having people that loved her enough to mourn her passing. Sounds like a life all of us can only pray for. Celebrate her wonderful life, and the fact that you were lucky enough to know and love her.

                        Larry,

                        Remember her well, and tell your new granddaughter of her early and often. What I cherish in my family is the stories handed down from generation to generation. Write them down and pass them along.

                        My prayers are with you and your family.
