'til we meet again...

Our family has had an adopted grandma. Oma Jones has been such a big part of our life for so long that we consider her family and we love her like our own grandma. She has been sick the last several weeks and we have known that her time to go home to her Heavenly Father was coming soon. Last Sunday we took all of the kids into the care center where she was to visit one last time. She was not coherent at all but the kids all got the chance to give her a hug and a kiss and tell her that they love her. It was very emotional. The next day Kent and I went back in to check on her and she was actually more coherent and we were able to talk to her. She said she was ready to go home to Don (her husband that has been gone for quite a few years). We told her that it was okay and that we would miss her but that we would all be okay if she was ready to go. Yesterday she was not awake much at all and then at around 5:30 she just peacefully passed away. We will surely miss her but we are so glad that she is now free from pain and we know that she is having a sweet reunion in heaven.Ashley and Grandma OmaThe kids with Oma last October
