On Sunday night, my mom's mother passed away at 6:30 pm. This year we thought we would loose my grandpa first, but at last Grandma went first. My Grandfather was by her side all day long and was able to give her four kisses throughout the day with the help of others lifting him up to her. There love for each other and God is purely a wonderful example to all of us. My parents are travleing to Michigan today and then my 3 sisters will be going up there as well. I wish that I could be there as well to see my family say goodbye to our grandmother, but that just isn't possible at the moment. I will be there in spirit and hopefully one day soon, I will be able to visit her graveside.
Today I have been thinking of making my grandma's rice krispy treats. She used to always make them for us when we would visit and they were my favorite. Of course they will never be like hers, since she always had a knack of making them just right.
Here is the newspaper clipping from the paper in Michigan.

I'm sorry for your loss. But what an amazing legacy of a godly woman who has been blessed by a husband of 70 years and was blessed with so many children, grand-children and great grand-children. What a blessing for you to have a grandmother like that.
