I am so sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you.

Thanks everyone. A friend and neighbor of my parents is bringing over a casserole and we're all getting together for dinner.

I again feel very lucky to have known my grandparents (I had three sets - Dad's parents divorced and remarried). Andy never knew his. They passed away when he was a child.

Also, say a prayer for my sister Linn and her husband Nick. Nick's dad has throat cancer and they just found more tumors and a biopsy showed it was aggressive. They give him between 2 days and 6 months.

I'm so sorry for your loss!

Your family and Nick will most certainly be in my thoughts.

I am so sorry, Kimmy You are very fortunate to have grandparents at your age, and I wish I could say the same. My grandfather on my moms side passed away when mom was just a teenager, and her mother passed away when I was 4 I think. My grandparents on my fathers side also passed away when I was an infant. You are so blessed to have been able to grow up with your grandparents and I know they were glad, also, to have such a wonderful granddaughter.

*hugs* to you, and rest in peace, Grandma
