    My grandmother passed away yesterday...

    I am left with a broken heart, she passed away yesterday afternoon. Thankfully it was peaceful, she is now in a better place, happy, healthy & whole again. She's went through so much the last fe months especially, she so deserves to be where she is at now. As sad as I am I am relieved that she is no longer suffering. We've had so many good times together I wouldn't even know where to begin. I sure will miss her but at least I now have her with me at all times, forever & always.



    I was also wondering if anyone can help me out today. (I have no net acces on the weekends & I have to get it done by this weekend) You see I am going to make up one of those picture frame things of her to be viewed at the service. I am looking for a prayer, saying, quote or the like that includes something along the lines of how special a grandmother, mother, sister & friend is. I would like it to include "grandmother, mother, sister & friend" (doesn't have to be in that order, or in the title, as long as it is stated somewhere in there). I understand this is short notice and it may be hard to find something like that so if you know of any other things that may be suitable please share them as well. As long as it is legal for me to cory it, I will give credit and list the author, that's no problem.

    I was going to make up my own but I am unable to think today. It's finally really starting to hit me that she really is gone. My mind is drawing blanks. If anyone feels creative enough to make up their own I would be more than happy to take it into considerataion too.
    Thanks in advance
    Signed with a heavy heart,
    Sue

    EDITED:
    Here is the link to the post with my current poem I have made up, but need help with:

    ((((hugs)))) from all of us, Sue. As you assemble her pictures, remember that if you can't find a poem or a quote, a picture is worth a thousand words. May memories of her warm your heart.

    Sue, I'll write/post something for you before the end of the day. I have to go to the dentist this morning, I'll ponder while I'm waiting! Anything you want to tell me about her, any little details, PM me, okay?

    oh Sue, I am so sorry for your loss. Your grandma sounds like a very special person. ((((hugs)))) I'll see if I can find something


    EDIT: found this one - I'll keep looking for more

    http://home.comcast.net/~hicarolyn/photos/cc/carol.htm

    Mother, Wife, Grandmother, Friend
    within each one of us,
    Mother, Wife, Grandmother, Friend
    your spirit lives

    yet -
    this moment, right now,
    is a most difficult moment
    i ...we, the living must endure -
    as we all will endure,
    while we find solace here,
    within our companion's love;
    we all know
    we need her still

    today,
    i ...we ...need to lean on each other's support and love;


    reach out
    and take the hand of another
    this woman,
    one we will always remember,
    loves

    everyone -
    seek with your heart
    to find in the words of this embrace
    the love you feel for
    Mother, Wife, Grandmother, Friend;

    Carol Morgan Chapman Loudon ...

    like the intricate, silken strands
    of a summer morning's sweet breath
    on a dew-laden web
    you have woven a beloved tapestry of life,
    cascading about you
    at its center

    yet
    unlike the solitary sentinel
    that lies in wait
    hoping to ensnare its prey
    you have a web that radiates of the continuity of life

    even, unto death,
    you remain
    a rose arrayed in love;
    ah, rose,
    bending quietly before the dawn of day,
    how beautiful you are,
    your evanescent petals unfolding into our lives

    and now, this new day,
    gently returning to ashen earth;
    you are love that lasts and lasts

    take thee our hand,
    each one of us,
    in this eterne moment
    have warmed for thee -
    and abide in us

    and every day,
    like the sparrows arrayed in all their splendor
    amidst the branches and blossoms
    within the world you call home,
    in our hearts
    we sing our embrace

    it does not matter
    if one has known you but for a while,
    we all join in song
    of this covenant,
    etched in love between God, family, and friends -
    this garden nourished within your soul
    will always find its roots
    in each of us

    we can tell you now
    and always...

    i love you
