As of 4:24 a.m. she's Home.

home...with her wonderful, amazing parents, her TEN brothers and sisters, her husbands, her son, her grandson, nieces, nephews, brothers and sisters in law, great-grandaughter, son in law.

Home with the Lord.

91 years 8 months.

I thought surely my heart would quit hurting when she finally walked into God's arms and quit suffering.

What a beautiful post, Biddy.

And you are so blessed to have had such an amazing relationship with her. Take comfort in the love that she had for you, and the awesome new life that she has gone on to ~ pain free and whole again. She will always be with you in the ways that matter most.

I am holding you and your family close in my prayers.
