My Grandma


Last night my Grandma Kathryn Smith passed away. She has had Alheimers Disease for the past ten years and it had gotten progressively worse. Then about a week or two ago she fell and broke her hip.She also had congestive heart failure, and also she was at the point where she was refusing to eat. All these things combined finally took her life. In a way I am sad, but even more I am happy; Her life has been a tough one, and I am glad she is now able to rest from all of it.Since my Grandpa died a year ago, she has been so sad and always asking "Where's Earl?" and then when told he has died, she cries and cries.So there are just so many reasons it is better for her to be with Jesus and Grandpa now.I have good memories of her--I stayed with them a lot when I was little, and I remember working in the garden together, playing dominoes, and coloring with her.I also remember her making a little "baby in the cradle" out of a handkerchief when I would go to church with them.
I know she can now be at peace and be happy. Love you Grandma.
