Grandma, it broke our hearts to see you go, but you did not go alone. A part of all of us went with you the day He called you home. You always told us, My God will never abandon me. Now we must put our faith in Him, that He will see us through our pain, until the day our family is whole again, the day we are together in Heaven.
