Nana in 1983

I found out yesterday that she had been in the hospital since the beginning of the week. I stopped today and got a get well card and a mother's day card for her.

My sister called tonight at about 10pm to say she had passed on around 7pm.

I know it has been hard for her over the last year or so. And like my sister, while I will miss her terribly, at least she is know free of pain and will now know what it is like to hear without aid.

I do not request sympathy for myself, but if you could keep my grandfather Michael in your thoughts I would appreciate it. He has lost his life companion of 66 years this evening.

Oh I am so sorry for your and his loss! While it's always a blessing to know that a loved one is free of pain, we hurt until we adjust to the new hole in our lives where their living presence was. But her living presence will always be active in your heart and memory. Remember her in joy and smiles.

*hugs*

I hope you have a wake and sit around with friends and family and remember her, all the good and fun and laughs and get shnockered cause that is how we should remember those we love that have moved on.

Lovely Lady...

You and your family, and most especially your Grandfather, are very much in my thoughts.

Much love -
