In memory of Granny.

Some quotes:

"Yet we have this assurance:
Those who belong to God will live;
their bodies will rise again!
 Those who sleep in the earth
will rise up and sing for joy!
 For God's light of life will fall like dew
on his people in the place of the dead!" Isiah 26:17, Quickverse Life Application Bible

My mixed feeling at the moment:

• Sad that Granny has gone from our lives. She was always looking after our best interest. She loved us a lot and had a great sense of humour. She was a great grandma.
• Expectant as I want to meet her in heaven.
• Relieved that she seems to have passed away peacefully, the way that she wanted to.
• Glad that we have a loving God.
• I think this is a time to be close to God, family and friends. Maybe this is an opportunity for us to become closer to God and bring others closer to Him.

Memories of Granny

• Always helping us
• "Mustn't be late" :)
• "Is the place tidy enough?"
• "That'll do."
• "Here you go. I made this for your tea...."
• "What can I do?"
• "Sarah...."   (food for the dog)
• "I bought this for you"
• "Don't worry about it, I paid for it." & "I'll pay for my ...[meal/trip/admission]"
• The immortal Granny that could do anything.
• The adventurous Granny: cable hang gliding, birthday houseboat trips, humour & teasing.
• The fancy-dress social last week
• The "Energiser Granny": She just kept going and going and going....

What to do:

What (I think) I would like people to do:

• Express their sorrow in a short, sharp and shiny way.
• Be supportive and understanding (but not overly ) for example:  listen. A good listener is always appreciated.
• Remember that things are basically the same, except that Granny isn't here. It's not the end of the world.
