Fifteen years ago you saw me in the hospital. Fifteen years later I saw you. I felt more at peace sitting by your side these last three weeks and getting the urge to pick myself up and move away from this loneliness. I have lost 15 years in knowing someone like you and today my pain is severe because I have had to deal with two main losses in three weeks. Yet, I know I have to shake myself of this self pity and be strong again.
I know we never got that chance to have a better and loving relationship. But I know you are in that wonderful place reserved by the good Lord and I know your happy. There is so much I wish for, so many things I would have loved saying to you in person. However, I have tried to say all I can these last few weeks.
Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord and let your perpetual light shine upon her.
May her soul, the soul of a faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Goodbye Grandma. Love you always.
Amen.

Sorry for your loss....
from what i read you were close to her...
may her soul rest in peace....
take care
Actually I never really knew her well cause she always lived in Canada... Got to spend very little time with her when I was there in Canada. This was my first death in the family so a little difficult to comprehend. Thank you for your words...
