may the Lord be with her...

i am sad to say that frank's grandma lost her battle with lung cancer yesterday. after being diagnosed over two years ago we have all been grateful to have had her with us this long...but it still wasnt long enough. not even 70 years old, a mother of 3, grandmother to 6 and great grandmother to 5 with one more on the way...as much as we hated to see her go it has also placed peace in our hearts knowing that she is finally comfortable again, sitting beside the Lord in the arms of her loving husband who left us 6 years ago this month.

a death is nothing to celebrate, but a life is...so to any of you who are reading this that have known grandma barbara, take a few moments to remember her and who she was to you and how she may have touched your life. dont be sad, for she is in a better place now, but rejoice for her because she has made it to that better place, a place that we all long to be someday.

may the Lord lay a hand of peace over your hearts tonight as we all deal with the loss of someone we truly love and help us to remember the good that she has brought to our lives and the memories she has left us with.

- rest in peace grandma barbara, we love you and you sure will be missed! take care of each other up there!
