My Grandmother




These pictures were taken at my sister-in-law's shower 1 1/2 weeks ago.  Today, my grandmother's body is slowly shutting down from a bad case of pneumonia.  I have gotten to spend time with her over the past few days, and feel peaceful that I was able to tell her how much I love her.  She also blessed me by looking me in the eyes and saying, "Elizabeth, I  have always loved you."  She is very peaceful today and enjoying time with her family.  My aunt and cousin came in from Alabama today, and my uncle and aunt are driving from New Mexico as we speak.
I will write more once this is all over.

Elizabeth, I'm thinking of your family. Isn't it wonderful to have no regrets, and to know how much you love and are loved? I felt that way with my grandmother, and it brings such a sense of peace. Blessings to you and yours -

My mom talked to your mom today about everything and then filled me in. I can't believe how quickly all of this has happened to her...

Thinking of you my sweet friend and praying for peace and comfort for your wonderful family. We love you!
