Goodbye

We lost Grandma today.  If you have ever heard us talk about her, you know that we lovingly called her "Grandma Weezy."  Her name was Louise and she was Chuck's grandma...and my grandma...and Brock and Kenzie's great grandma...and we loved her so, so much!  You see, I had lost both grandparents on my dad's side before I had ever met Chuck.  Shortly after we were married, I lost both of my mom's parents.  So, Grandma Weezy became "my" grandma...and I loved her no less than my own.  She was kind to everyone, but still had enough "ornery" in her to be fun.  I think the thing that I most loved about her was that she loved me for me.  She was a good person...and we will miss her.  One thing that I will always remember was when Grandma accepted Jesus as her personal savior.  I remember my mother in law, Cindy, telling me with tears in her eyes that she never thought she would see the day.  It is because of that day that I can be absolutely certain that Grandma is now free from pain and suffering and she is in Heaven with Tina, Grandpa, and so many others that have gone before us.  She was so sick these past few months and my heart is glad that she no longer has to suffer, but that doesn't take the sting of losing her away.  We will spend the next few days together as a family, loving each other, comforting each other, and remembering our Grandma Weezy.  Love you, Grandma!
