Tribute to Grandma



It's a sad, but glorious day as we have lost the greatest Grandma in the world.I wanted to pay tribute to the last thing I had left of my Mother. My grandmother passed away this morning and is now with her wonderful husband who passed on before her 11 years ago, with her son in law that passed on 8 years ago and with her daughter who passed on nearly 5 years ago as well. How happy she must be to be with them all and embracing the Savior at the same time. I want her to know how much I looked up to her. She was a great example to all the lives she came in contact with. I will never forget and always treasure the times we had together as we struggled to watch my Mom with her sickness. How hard it must have been for her to watch her beautiful daughter struggle as she was losing the battle of life. She was a STRONG woman who rarely showed much emotion in public, but I know she would release it in private. Grandma you were a strength to me, an example of what true unconditional love is,I am grateful for your testimony and to be a legacy of yours. May I always live for that legacy to attain the highest degree in the celestial kingdom so that I can be with all my family in the eternities. I love you more than you will ever know and I am so happy for you, you are now out of pain and with those that you love. Send my love and kisses to Grandpa and my Mother... God be with you till we meet again...... I love you always and forever

Wow, Cala that was beautiful! I had heard from Jaime that she was in the hospital. I am so sad but so happy for her too. She had out lived many and was eager to see those who had passed. You know they all had open arms waiting for the beautiful Delsa! I loved your grandma so much! She had the softest skin and I loved to hold her hand. She lived a glorious life and she must be at so much peace with that.
Cala I am sorry that you all have to go through this right now. I would love to be there. Give everyone a hug for me. love you!
