You left so soon.  It was just like it I woke up and you were gone.  I know you are in a much better place right now but oh how I miss you. 

It’s just like it was yesterday and can see you smile.  I sit and picture you sitting by the stove staying warm on these cold days.  Now someone else is filling your seat.   How can that be?

You went to sleep that night with a smile even though you weren’t feeling well.  Is that because you knew you were about to go see our Father in Heaven.  Oh how you loved Him so.  You taught us so much about Him.

I am so happy you are with Him now and I know you will never have to ask for anything.  It’s nice to know you are watching over us also.  It makes is a little easier.

I remember Sunday mornings.  We always listen to Hymns.  I listen to some of the same ones you played for us now.  They sure bring comfort. 

We played those Hymns for you every day after your stroke.  Hoping they would trigger a response.  I know they did even if we didn’t notice it.  You sure loved your Hymns.

Ha it was funny because the nurses would say we need to turn them up because a lot of other patients should hear them.  See even while you were in your sick-bed you was still spreading Gods word to others.

I remember coming up every evening after work.  We would sit and talk to you and laugh at things we had done.  It was fun because even though you really weren’t there to response you still heard us and I know your heart was smiling.

You hung around for 6 months bringing us closer and closer to God.  Sometimes I think it was meant to be that way.  We wanted to keep you here with us boy we wanted you to stay.  But God told us He had a better place for you.  Away from all pain so we started to understand what He was telling us.

We talked, we cried, we sit, we laughed, we prayed and in the end we all decided that what better gift to give someone who would give you everything than to give them the gift of Heaven.   You were so happy when we told you we were ok and ready for you to go home to Father.

It took a while for you to let go because I know you wanted to make sure we really were ok.  I saw it in your face.  You watched us all young and old, you saw it in our face that we were at peace.  You told God you were ready to come home because your children were gonna be ok.

God took you that night.  He bought you into paradise into a land of love and joy.  We honored you in the coming days after that.  We all carried you home to your final resting spot.

As we covered you up we didn’t say goodbye.  As we walked away we say said we will see you soon.  God knows we will see you soon and so do you.  As you and God watch over us today we know that you are so happy and you are happy to know we will see you again.

So today we still carry you in our heart and soul and we don’t go a day without thinking about you.  Sometimes we can see your smile and hear your laugh.  You would think everything was so funny.  We really loved that.  You could make the worst day super bright.

As I end this I couldn’t have asked for a better person in my life and our family.  You were our backbone and you still are.  The love you had for us will never fade.  We are taking care of business just like we promised you.

I know you are happy with us.  I can see it when the sunshine’s and the night falls its everywhere.  So my love, we are doing ok and we know you are to.  Say hi to our other family members for us.  Keep them under control if you can.  You know they can be a handful.

Until we see you in Heaven one day we will always send our love and we will always love others for you taught us to love everyone for we are all God’s children.

So rest in peace my wonderful Grandmother may your soul stay full of joy and your heart hold the gates of Heaven open for us one day.  For God has one of the sweetest and for we are so grateful that He gave you to us for over 80 years but we know He needed your sweetness in Heaven more than we needed it here on earth.

Thank you God for such wonderful woman and thank for such wonderful Heaven you have taken her to.  For knowing she is with you smiling down on us, watching over us and teaching us everyday makes it easier.  For no one on earth can take better care of her.

This is for my beloved grandmother (Clara Givens who departed this life and went to her home in Heaven) you are not gone for you will be in our souls forever.

For our tears are of joy may the sun wipe away the pain and let the rain of Heaven be upon us washing away our sins and bringing a new body to enter into Heaven one day.

For we are truly blessed,
