Grandma Passed Away

Yesterday, my Mom called to let me know that my grandmother had passed away last Sunday. It was to be expected. Grandma had been ill since last January and many in the family suspected she would not even make it till her birthday, which was end of February.

She did, and reached the respectable age of 102 years! The picture below was taken when she turned 100 years of age.


Things went downhill after Grandma's birthday. She deteriorated fast. She got cervical cancer and due to her age, the doctors didn't think it wise to do surgery. She got morphine for the pain and had to have astronaut food because she couldn't eat anymore. Physically, she got worse, but mentally she was very much up to date until the end. Praise The Lord!

I can not tell you if she was saved. I don't know, but I pray she was. I would like to see her again one day. :-)
