We will miss you!

We received news that my Grandma J passed away this week. I don't really have words to describe my feelings as I write this. As you go through death, there is certainly the grieving process and we are feeling that. I will miss her a lot. I grew up going to her home often, like at least once a month, sometimes more. I guess if you aren't missed, you didn't live a good enough life. :) I have been thinking a lot about past memories with her. She was a very independent woman. She spoiled us ROTTEN! And she loved us to pieces. It was fun to have her get to know my kiddos a little bit also and see her thrive in the stage of great-grandma. I have also been thinking about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. How would you get through death without knowing that we will all be together again? Someday, I'll get to see my Grandma again. And I am happy for her that she is with my Grandpa again.
We will miss you Grandma!

I'm so sorry! It's always hard to lose someone you love so very much! I, too, am so grateful for the knowledge we have. I'm sure you will be able to feel her close during special occasions in life. Hang in there especially with the holidays.

So sorry to hear this Jen. Thanks goodness for the gospel and all we know. I know she's in a better place and can't wait for your reunion someday.

My heart and prayers are with you. A hard hit to take, but like you said, thank heaven for the gospel to help us muddle through. Hugs.

Sad to hear about your Grandma. I hope that you are okay being so far from home! Change is so hard...I don't well with it, but I am glad that you were blessed with such a Grandma in your life!
