A Sad Day Indeed...

Today, "D's" grandmother was laid to rest.  After many years of various health complications, she has moved on to a better place.  We will miss her deeply.

Many memories will remain, as she was a wonderfully caring woman.  She had a warm heart and a kind soul.  She was thoughtful and generous.  As cliche as it sounds, she was the type that would give the shirt off her back if you were in need.  Her generosity knew no boundaries!

I'm thankful that I was able to get to know such an amazing woman and that my daughter had the opportunity to know her great-grandmother and will always have fond memories of her.

As we say goodbye to her today, we remember the woman she was.  And with those memories we are able to find peace.  She wouldn't have wanted anything but happiness for her family, and today, although many mixed emotions arose, the family came together with love.
