My Grandma
My Grandma had so many fine qualities of which I will name a few,
she had a generous caring nature and a loving heart too.
My Grandma always saw the
good in everyone,
no matter what they had done, a bad word she would speak of no one.
My Grandma was always there for me no matter what,
she was a best friend who shared with me a special bond.
I will never forget her
the times we laughed or cried
the hours we talked.
She is bonded to my heart forever.
There was magic in her touch,
And sunshine in her smile.
There was love in everything she did
To make my life worthwhile.
I found hope and courage
Just by looking in her eyes.
Her laughter was a source of joy,
Her words were warm and wise.
I cherish each and every moment
I spent with her.
Our Monday mornings
were special.
I'm so thankful that we were
able to take our three grandsons
with us, she always
looked forward to it.
She always told me, when it was
her time to go that she just wanted
to close her eyes and go.
God granted her wish.
All that knew her will miss her
deeply. All the wonderful memories we have will now hold a
special place in our hearts.
When Sandy and I
got to the nursing home
last night she was so peaceful
laying there in her bed.
Even though I knew that would be
the last time I would see
her earthly body,
I rejoiced she was now Home.
This morning on the way to Church
the song that is playing on this page
came on the radio
"This Is Home."
I have been doubly Blessed both of
my Grandma's lived to be 102.
Not many can say that.
Thank You for your prayers and thoughts.

~ September 11th.....I'll never forget '01 and I'll never forget '10. Heaven gained a beautiful angel tonight.......I love you Grandma.
♥ My Beautiful Great Grandma is Heaven's Newest Angel ♥
Saturday evening I received a phone call from my dad telling me that my Great Grandmother who was 102 had peacefully went home to be with our Lord. She wasn't sick. She wasn't in pain. She just went to sleep here and woke up in Heaven. How much better can it get? My entire family was VERY close to her and yes we all knew the day would come that she would pass away. However, it completely took us all by shock. I never dreamed that my life would change so much that day when I woke up Saturday morning. If I ever learned one thing from my Grandma it was to not live with any regrets and to live life to the fullest each and every day. She was and always will be a very big part of my life but I am so at peace with everything. Yes my heart is saddened by losing her but just knowing that she passed without any regrets.....she lived each of her 102 years to the fullest. We hear people and probably say ourselves that we need to live each day to the fullest, but do we ever really do that?
As I was sitting in church yesterday morning listening to the sermon I began to feel that in my spiritual walk. I feel like each day in our walk with God should be better than the day before. We can't digress in any manner. Each day has to build upon the day before. We have to strive harder each day to 'do better' than we did the day before. Does that make sense? We need to begin to seek the face of God like never before. To be face to face with Him......eye to eye to see what He sees, heart to heart to feel what He feels and to feel His heartbeat. To be so close to Him that He is literally breathing His life into us. Can you imagine each breath being God breathed? That is what we need to strive for every day. Each day we go to a new level with God. Not digressing in any way or having one bit of regret. Living each day to it's fullest and doing everything that God wants us to do each and every day.

When I Called Michelle to tell her about Grandma, Michelle started Crying and my Grandson Jayden (5 years old) got on the phone and asked me why mommy was crying? I told him Great Great MiMi Reed When home to be with Jesus tonight.
He said, but why is everybody sad?
He knew it was a good thing that she was home with Jesus!

~ One day while visiting grandma a few years back We asked grandma "if she knew where she would spend eternity when she dies? And her reply was "Heaven" We asked her "why she thought that?" and she said because she trusted Jesus Christ as her Personal Saviour many many many years ago as a little girl.....that right there is what it is all about... it is not about how good you are...it is not about how you treat others..it is not about going to church or tithing it is not about getting baptized....it is about trusting Jesus Christ as your Personal Lord and Savior...I am so glad to know that my Great Grandma trusted Jesus Christ as her Personal Savior and one day we will see her again ...
