She passed away... she knew it was coming and told everyone who had taken care of her a hearfelt farewell. Of course we were all a little skeptical that she could know such a thing, but we all made our way in for a last visit. I'm not going to lie, it was hard to see her struggling for air and her thoughts seemed somewhat disconnected, but in the end my sweet cousin Jeff was serenading her when the staff of the nursing home turned her, her breathing changed and just like that, she was gone... I wasn't there at the time, and it really has seemed surreal ever since, but it was such a blessing she was able to return to her heavenly father, and her husband and family that went before her. She was in so much pain after suffering a stroke and unable to do the things she loved most like painting, singing, and sewing. It's hard to be sad when someone has arrived at the ultimate goal of their life. just hard for us left behind that will miss her sweet Louisiana southern drawl. Love you, Gramma.....
