Lost another grandparent.... :(

**ramanth** · 05-09-2007, 09:26 AM

At 8:40 p.m. last night, my Grandma Ringle passed away. A little over a week ago she was admitted into the ICU with a staph infection. She was taken off the ventilator yesterday morning but held on until all of her family could be there. Then she opened her eyes, took a breath, and was gone.

I feel lucky to have been blessed with knowing my grandparents. My mom's mom, Grandma Hollandsworth, is the sole remaining grandparent and I'm feeling very protective. My sisters and I are her only grandkids.

My dad has not been well himself, so please think of him during this difficult time.

The last time I saw my Grandma was around Christmas and she looked really good. I regret not spending more time with her.

I am so sorry for your loss. I do not have any living grandparents and it's very difficult to deal with.
You and your family will be in my thoughts.

I'm so sorry Kim. Rest well, Grandma Ringle.

You are so lucky to have had your grandparents around as a grown-up - I lost my last one at age 12, so I am jealous. Rest in peace, Grandma Ringle. Our prayers will be with your family at this time.

Kimmy, my deepest sympathies to you and your family. She looks and sounds like such a lovely lady. I will light a candle for her, and say a prayer. (((hugs)))

I am very sorry to hear this Kimmy.

May she rest in peace.

Kimmy, I am really sorry to hear of your loss of your Grandmother.

I only knew my paternal grandparents - and I loved them to pieces.

I'm sorry for your loss Kimmy. My last grandparent (that I knew) died when I was in 6th grade.

RIP Grandma.

Oh Kimmy, I am so sorry.

She is a lovely lady and I know she cherished every moment she had with her family. What a wonderful picture of you and Andy and your two grandmothers. I hope you have a copy framed somewhere in your home. That is a wonderful thing to cherish.

I was fortunate to know all 4 of my grandparents and we lost our last one at the age of 93 in 2000, my mom's mom. But I have wonderful memories of all 4 of them. I hope that in time you can sit back and remember her with joy.
