macel was my neighbor on 4 h rd for many years. loved her smile heaven has a sweet angel.
Thinking of the family. Grandma was just an ever-present part of my college experience. Spending countless hours up on the farm with Jim. Coming back to the house for burgers and mac & cheese… I'll miss her dearly.
SO I guess it is that time for me to tell you goodbye, but not for long because I know my heavenly home will be with you…..Dear Grandma, We often talked about this day and how our lives would be forever changed. I am grateful, and very blessed to have had you as long as I did. I am trying to be strong, and hold back the tears, because I realize just how happy you are: your eyes-how they are seeing the best that they have for a long time and what a beautiful sight you are beholding; your legs are moving just as fast as when we would mow your yard, and, oh, how you are talking to all those you have longed forI, I , too, have missed all those times we would talk. But, I am excited to see you again, and the faith that you shared with me, I wlil forever hold you in my heart. Thank you for giving me the compassion and love to see only the best in all those around and realizing that our faith will always see us through. I can only imagine……
I will miss you and 104 years on this earth is nothing in comparison to the time you will be spending walking on those streets of gold.
