This is my Grandmama. She's gone home to be with The Lord now. She died Sunday morning in her bed, blessed by departing the way she wanted to go. Not in pain, and not in a nursing home. She died on the day she so often worshipped her Lord. This particular Sunday, she went to worship in a whole new way. Thanks be to God for His glorious gift of salvation.
Many times Grandmama asked us, "why am I still here?" And we'd answer, "you're here for us." But at 92 and tired, she questioned still.
She was such a lovely lady. She was funny, and spry. She was a great cook and always wanted us to eat and spend the night. Our stays were never long enough. She played outside with us. Baseball and hide n seek, snowball fights and puddle stomping. She was encouraging and always on our side, always keeping up with us and our families.
She loved her daughter and son in law, she loved her son and daughter in law, and she loved all 5 of the grandkids and her 10 great-grandchildren. What a legacy!
Her funeral is tomorrow and we will celebrate because she knew Jesus. We will cry because she's no longer in our lives. However, she will always be in our memories. I love you and will miss you, Grandmama!

Brother John, I am deeply saddened to hear of your loss. The pain of loosing someone so special, is hard to accept,but as you said,the tears and heartaches are for those of us who will be missing her presence forevermore, here on earth. We know she will never feel pain or heartache again. May God be with your family through the upcoming days and weeks ahead.Your family is in my prayers.
