I know what it's like when a grandparent dies, I felt really bad for my dad when my grandpa died last december. Sometimes I think it's harder for him, than it was for me, especially since all my dad could do was listen over the phone as my grandpa passed on since he lived in Guatemala. So like you said your grandma will be there in all of ya'lls hearts, and being as she's in heaven she's not really dead she's just got a much nicer home ^_^

she always did say she wanted to go home and that's how she would say it. she ways taken from her home and was made to live with my aunt. she didn't like it but she had to. she was diagnosed with alzhimers about 4years ago. it was a sad and sumtimes happy time. i read her euligy at the funeral. and my bible teacher did the prayers and whatnot.

It's so hard when a grand parent dies. I will definately pray for your mom. Your g-ma lives on in your hearts and of course she's in a much better place now. I keep telling that to myself about my grandma and it helps.
