    So Sorry for your loss to all of your family. I know she was a wonderful Mother and Grandmother. She seemed to always have a smile on her face. Here's a quote someone shared with me when I lost some one and it made me a little less sad.
    "Just think of stepping on shore and finding it HEAVEN,
    Of touching a hand and finding it GOD'S
    Of breathing new air and finding it CELESTIAL.
    And waking up in glory and finding it HOME! "
    God bless all of you.
