My grandma passed away yesterday

Her health has not been very good for a little while now and we expected her to go soon, so it was expected. It is still hard to know that she is gone. She was the only grandma I knew, but she lived a very long life. I know that she is happy now. We are heading to SL tomorrow for the funeral. It's hard that we are so far away. We are only able to make a short trip, but at least we get to be there.

It has been hard on me these last few weeks since grandma has been at the hospice. I knew that she could go anytime, but I wanted to be there next to her before she did. I knew that the chances that I would see her before she died were not good, and it has made me sad. But yesterday morning as I was talking to my mom, grandma passed. So even though I have not been able to be there, I felt like I was there a little even though I was only on the phone.

Oh Lynda! I know how much you loved your grandma and you were so good to her. I remember how often you wrote her. Enjoy the funeral, all of my grandparents have passed away and I learned so much about them at their funerals. Enjoy the short visit with your families too. We wish we were going to be in SL so we could see you! Pais just don't understand why we can't drive to Mississippi for a visit, she talks about it all the time. We are thinking of you. We love and miss you. Sometimes living in Utah sounds so good doesn't it!?
