But if there is, these two could be slurping it and enjoying it together today. My Grandma Shirley passed away last evening and because of her belief in Jesus and His death on the cross for sin, I know she is in Heaven today. This picture of her and Teagan is more than 10 years old already. Yet I still remember the fun we all shared together and I can still "hear" what their laughter sounded like on that day.Our family {my mom's side} and so many people are going to miss my Grandma and who she was in our lives. She lived an amazing life- one touched by tragedy and grief more than once- still she exuded joy and happiness to hundreds of people over the span of her life. There is so much I could say about her and truly, if you met her you blessed as a result.
We will be packing an RV tomorrow and driving from Michigan to Minnesota to be with family and friends as we share memories of grandma and our say final good-bye. We are sad on one hand, but filled with peace at the same time as we know she is home with God for all eternity now! What a thrill Heaven must be!
You can pray for us to have safe travel to and from home, as well as semi-well-behaved kids for 12+ hours, and that Wyndham will do well too. Although she is the one that is used to sitting in one place for hours at a time right now! I just know that my Grandma would be happy to hear that so many people are coming together from all over to remember her life, share in our sorrow and celebrate her faith that spurred her on until the very end. I'd love to tell you more about her and will do so when I get that chance. I look forward to seeing her in Heaven again. Someday!

I will be praying for your family during this time of loss. My grandmother passed away three years ago this Friday. It is still hard to believe she is gone. I will be praying for your travels, too.
Praying for your safe travels. How glorious your grandma's and Teagan's reunion must've been! So sorry for your loss Jody. {{{hugs}}}

What a blessing to know that your separation is only temporary. What an amazing God we serve!
What a beautiful photo and it shows the love and joy of family. God bless you all and safe travels. Peace be with you and may your comfort be in your faith and the knowledge that God reunites us with Him and our forever families when He knows it is time. Your sweet grandmother (she is so lovely in the picture!) and Teagan are together and rejoicing to be with our Lord! XOXOXO

My husband's grandmother passed away Friday at 99 years and 8 months. We rejoice that she too is 'home.' We drove 12 hours from MD to MI for the funeral Monday and back home yesterday. Will be praying that it goes equally well for you.
