Granny touched so many of our hearts and I will never forget that she prayed for my situation with my DIL...that meant so much to me. I know, it's terrible, but I still owe you an email letting you know how it's all going!! I've just signed Granny's guestbook and have left a poem on there that I hope will give you some comfort. xoxoCarole Buranthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497329055251626140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8881189520578385241.post-75657193834658555982010-04-23T22:55:38.672-04:002010-04-23T22:55:38.672-04:00Found your blog through Julie.

I'm thankful for every moment we had and know she's with God.<br /><br />I think God brings us to people we need to meet via blogging. It's truly been a blessing.<br /><br />I pray you continue to find peace.Parsleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18409440410210436267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8881189520578385241.post-42852678579978346082010-04-23T18:13:25.147-04:002010-04-23T18:13:25.147-04:00In the past 20 days, we have had 3 elderly people ...In the past 20 days, we have had 3 elderly people in our neighborhood pass away. Maybe He needs some help up there. The third funeral is on Monday. All were such good, salt-of-the-earth people. Sad to see them go, but so grateful to have known them. It sounds like you have been wrapped in the arms on His love through those here on earth.

She had such an impact on all of us here in Bloggsville and will never be forgotten. I enjoyed so much her videos that you took and her devotion to her quilting when she could have just been sitting in a rocking chair doing nothing. I know you have an empty hole in your heart right now but I also know that you know God makes no mistakes and does everything in His own time. What a comfort that is!!! I continue to pray for you and your family Val! xoxoxoxMidlife Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03531655128417397650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8881189520578385241.post-41647357721088935422010-04-23T08:28:15.496-04:002010-04-23T08:28:15.496-04:00"Be still and know that I am God" is oft..."Be still and know that I am God" is often what I meditate on.

It breaks my heart. He was such a wonderful man and treasured husband and Father to their daughter. I regret that he will never get to hold his grandbabies - he was the type who would have loved to do that. He was only 56 and it was rheumatoid arthritis that destroyed his physical body..<br /><br />And I remember when my Mama died back in 1976 and broke my heart. She was not only my Mom, but also my best friend. It was so aweful and also that feeling of just becoming an orphan in this world. It is truely a blessing to have a Mama who loves you-but it makes it so painful to let them go.<br />Hugs, Lindawebbswayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11500925658471825693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8881189520578385241.post-3750606311677028532010-04-22T23:14:41.570-04:002010-04-22T23:14:41.570-04:00Oh sweetie you are well-loved.

You brightened Granny's last years here by being there for her, and by letting her know that you would carry on her heritage of living for the Lord and quilting. It was time for Granny to go to complete rest and happiness with the Lord. She is now by the river of life, praising Him just like she did here. I am glad that you are encouraged in the Word and that you were able to talk to Julie in person for sweet words of encouragement.<br />Love<br />MOMAlice Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17736427320282775051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8881189520578385241.post-55864855561847497982010-04-22T21:38:36.329-04:002010-04-22T21:38:36.329-04:00(((((((Valerie)))))))))
