This was tough....

[gregintenn]

My wife's grandmother passed peacefully in her sleep early this morning. At the age of 102, it really wasn't a surprise, but she was a big part of our lives.

 

She lived on a farm all her life, and worked her butt off every day she was able. If you were welcome, there was always a cooked meal on the table. If you weren't; she had a shotgun for that.

 

She was at church every Sunday morning. She raised kids, grandkids, great-grandkids, a garden, cows, tobacco, and chickens. She could mend blue jeans, or a broken heart.

 

There are no more like her, and she was the kind of person I aspire to be.

 

We could use your thoughts and prayers this holiday season.

 

Thanks for listening.

 

Greg

Absolutely will add you and the family to my prayers, Greg. 

 

I'm sure such a sweet lady as you described will be welcomed with open arms by many in Heaven.

 

I've always had a very special feeling for grandparents, and I'm sure you do as well.

 

These wonderful people are the glue that bind families forever.

Done , they don't make them like that much anymore ....

Thanks for sharing, Greg.

 

This season, many look forward to watching certain movies, eating good food and opening presents.  While those things are nice, Christians look forward to the coming of Christ; not only in celebrating His birth but also His second coming.  For your dear Grandmother, she waits for that no longer.  Glory!

It is always hard to lose a loved one, especially around the holidays when most look forward to sharing time with their families.  Just remember the things about her that you've shared with us and she will always be with you and your family....

Prayers sent for comfort during your time of loss.

do whatever you can to make this year's holiday the best ever.  She will always be with you.

 

It will be alright.

[felinesNfreedom]

Prayers to you and yours. She sounds like a person we could all strive to be. Hardworking, giving individual. My Great grandmother was that way, give you the shirt off her back.  This world is a little darker place when people like that leave .

Sorry for the loss Greg, will keep you and yours in our prayers.

Sounds like one heck of a woman, I know she will be missed, my condolences to the family.

Sorry to hear that Greg. ... sounds like you lost a giant and an angel... all in one.  

[Tuffus]

Sorry for your loss, especially at Christmas time but we can only hope that we all can live such a long and good life as she did. Count your blessings, I'm sure she provided you with plenty.

[Greg_Mid_TN]

Prayers and healing thoughts. I always admired my Grandmother for what she did, what she represented and how she lived life.

 

That generation has much to teach us. I only hope we are listening.

I would have liked to have met.

Sorry for your loss. Best wishes for you all.

Losing close family members are very difficult, and to add, right before the holidays.  I pray for your comfort and a blessing to come out of this.

Condolences and prayers for your family!

 

And you're right, we lost my grandmother 6 years ago at the age of 94, and they just don't make them like that generation any longer!

[K191145]

Sorry for your loss Greg, a person definatly lives right if they make it to 102.

[gregintenn]

Thanks a lot guys. :up: Last night was hard, as we always gathered at her house. Life goes on, and we have lots of fond memories. Here's to wishing you all a very Merry Christmas.
