Edie has gone home....


My grandma Edie passed away quietly at the nursing home this morning. I was blessed enough to have been able to see her just two days ago, on Thursday. We had been told by the staff that she wasn't doing well and so Stu, the kids and I headed west to Canton for a visit. I thank God that He allowed us one last visit with her and we gathered around her, listened to her stories one more time and hugged and kissed her goodbye, not realizing it was for the very last time. Edie is home at last, which is what she wanted, to be in heaven with her beloved family - her mother, father and sister, all of whom left her too soon. For my sister and I and our families, we will miss her very much but feel she is where she needs to be now. I will be back soon with more thoughts on my grandmother's passing.
