I received this message from my aunt yesterday-
Jessica,
Grandma is passing away. She has only a few days left. I wanted you to know so that you could come over to say your goodbyes if you can. Will you tell your Dad and the rest of your family? I love you guys.Miss you. Call me at Sharlene's.
Love, Jolynn
My dad called the family as soon as I got the message and we made arrangements for us to visit today after work. We did not know how much time she had but thought we could make it in time.
Before bed I prayed that god would take her with kindness and that her loved one's would be there to greet her. I asked that we would have our chance to say our goodbyes and that she would know how much we love her. I know god works in mysterious ways and it's not for me to question.
I received a text message at 2 am letting me know that our visit would be to late. Early this morning My wonderful, loving grandmother passed away. She is now with her soul mate, 3 daughters (Kathy,Jill & my Mom) as well as many others that passed before her. Her brilliant smile,soft hugs,the smell of fresh Cinnamon rolls, the taste of hot oatmeal with wheat toast and her huge heart will be greatly missed.
I know that as a family reunited in heaven they are safe and they suffer no more.
