Some sad news..


My grandmother, Dora Best (my mom's mother), died this morning around 6:30 a.m., surrounded by her loving family. My mom left yesterday morning to be by her side, spent the night with her, and the family was called in around 5:00 a.m. Please pray for comfort and safety in traveling as the family makes plans to bury a beloved mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother. Although dementia had taken her from us long ago, those glimmers of recognition and remembrance were hoped for and welcomed. So glad of the hope of heaven and joyful welcome awaiting us with a mind that has been restored.
This picture was taken in July 2008 when we were in NY for a family reunion.

orry about your Grandmother Susie. I know how it is to loose one. That was the saddest thing I ever done was to be in the room with Grandma when she passed away. It was also awesome to be there when she went to Heaven! Sad...I will remember you and your family! Love ya!
