My saddest day has finally come...

My grandmother, Beatrice Olguin passed away last night, at 5:18pm. She was my role model & hero, and I miss her desperately. True to her faith, she died on a Sunday evening, just in time to rejoice in Heaven for the Sunday Night Worship Service she always loved so much

I'm really sorry that you lost your Grandma, but, just from the way you talk about her, I can see so clearly that she was an extraordinary woman. That kind of specialness doesn't fade away.

Thanks Vikki. I know you're right. She was extraoridnary, and I know she's watching down on me from Heaven now.

My deepest sympathy... Grandma Bea will be in my prayers tonight, may she rest in eternal peace.

When my dad passed away, one thing that helped me at that time is a thought that someone shared with me, written as a note in a beautiful card they gave me. I'm going to share it with you now too (using your Grandma's name, instead of my dad's of course). I hope it helps to comfort you both in some small way...

Imagine that Grandma Bea was a bird in a tree and her life was the branch on which she sat... the branch breaks and instead of her falling and feeling pain, her wings open and she flies up safely into the hands of the God who created her.... where she will always be safe, and where she can watch over her loved ones... Your family & you

Thank You so much Andrea. Those were beautiful words, and just reading them brought me comfort.

I miss her, but I truly believe I will see her again someday.
Your prayers are very much appreciated.
