The passing of a life

Our family has been plunged into mourning, after the death of my paternal grandmother last Sunday morning in the Lucea hospital. She lived a long life, to her mid 80's, and having lost her husband some years ago, they can now be together.

Sorry you didn't get to taste any wedding cake from me before you closed your eyes for the final time. (She was always ribbing me about not being married).

Rest in peace, Grandma.

My condolences to the family. I pray that god provides the family with the strength to cope during their hour of need.

We must all remember that life is precious, and only loaned to us for awhile by god. It is important to tell your love one's how much you love them as life is brief.

So sorry to hear - our condolences to you and your family. I just realized that we must have been related! My Dad was from Lucea too, another McDonald family! Ask your Dad if he know the headmaster of Ruseas High, Mr. Mc. When is the funeral? Please let us know.

Michelle,
I'm so sorry to hear ... condolences to your family.
No matter what age .... the loss is always heartwrenching and hard to bear in the early days, but it becomes a gentle sorrow with wonderful memories and segues into a memory which keeps the loved one alive in your heart ... although from time to time you still experience adeep wish to be able to physically share a moment or smile as you think of the loved one's response to a particular situation.

Love .... and keep smiling ... she'd want that.
