I just wanted to post a few thoughts I've had since Grandma died. We felt really blessed she didn't have to suffer long. She was never in pain that she complained of. She did have lots of anxiety and seemed to be aware of the changes in her body that would eventually take her life. We were able to have her in our home before she passed away, which proved to be a great blessing for all of us. We saw the hand of the Lord at work in her life and her passing was so sweet and comforting for us. We know she is in a better place with loved ones gone before and she is very happy to be with them. She was lonesome for Grandpa. She has missed him so much through these past 11 years. I know they still live on in the spirit world where they are very busy helping with the work that goes on there. I couldn't help think when little Kody had surgery a week ago, that maybe that was one of Grandma's assignments to help and comfort them. He did really well and is eating well and will start growing to catch up with his big brother. We have truly been blessed as a family. We thank the Lord daily for family that blesses our lives. Now we are battling a different battle and I know as we pull together and unite our faith with Laurie and Ken's family, we will see blessings come as a result. May each of us continue to love and pray for each other and those who need our love. I know God lives and hears and answered our prayers, we are blessed to have prophets and apostles on the earth today to give us guidance and direction for our families. May we live to honor our Savior Jesus Christ in all we do so we can return to be with him and Grandma and Grandpa again for eternity.
