margaret

Yesterday afternoon, my sweet, sweet grandmother left this earth and entered the gates of Heaven.  I know it was a glorious sight, and she fit in just fine.  We are so sad to see her go, but are so thankful she won’t suffer anymore.  She was a beautiful woman, inside and out, and what a legacy and example she left behind.  I’m so thankful for the time our family was able to spend with her and together these last few days.

I praise the Lord for her Proverbs 31 qualities; she truly was clothed with strength and dignity.  I love you Mom, and you will be greatly missed.

 

P.S.  I’ll take some time to be with our family, and will be back with you guys shortly.

    I’m so very sorry. No one can know what you’re going thru but you. Please know, however, how much you mean to all of us in Blogland. This is an amazing community of caring, sharing people, as I found out when I lost my husband two months ago.

    I am praying for you and your family, as I know many, many others are as well. Take care of you. We’ll all be here when you’re ready to come back.

    So sorry for your loss until you are reunited one day in Heaven. Even though it is is sad to say goodbye for now, how sweet it is to know it is not forever thanks to our Savior. Blessing to you.

    I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s such a coincidence my name is Margaret and yesterday was my beloved mothers 15 anniversary in Heaven. I felt my mom with me yesterday and I feel that your post is also my mom reaching out. Take it easy my thoughts are with you.
    With Love,
    Margaret

    Grandmothers are life’s most wonderful gift. You are all the richer for having known her.

  27. tina July 24, 2012 at 7:44 pm #

    I am so sorry to hear of your grandmother’s death. You have certainly had more than your share of trials lately!

    As much as we know they are in a much better place, and know that they have a new and healthy body, we are never ready to lose a loved one. We grieve. I lost my mother almost 2 years ago and there is not a day that goes by that I don’t think of her, miss her. My comfort is in knowing that one day we will be reunited again. I imagine entering heaven and feeling my mom’s arms around me again. May your memories and the knowledge you WILL be together again bring your family comfort.

    I lost my precious grandmother in April…I still miss her everyday. Praying God’s comfort and peace for you.

  44. Anni Schwabe August 9, 2012 at 11:05 am #

    My Grandmother passed away yesterday morning. She was 96 and lived in Austria, far from us but with other family members. Her mother (my Great GM) also died in her nineties. I pay homage to both of my maternal Grands by living and raising my own children in a natural environment full of love and kindness.

    My condolences, Anni
