She's in Heaven.

Grandma died this morning. My dad got up to check on her in the middle of the night, and she had passed away just moments before. She's gone... she's done.

I have cried off and on throughout the day, but not from grief. My tears have come as I have thought of the people she has met once again, the overwhelming joy she must feel, and the picture of her singing and dancing today. She is free. She is healthy. She is young and vibrant.

I am so happy for her. In fact, there are not enough words to describe the joy. Way to go, Grandma. You're there.

For we do not grieve as those who have no hope...
I Thessalonians 4: 13

Tricia, Our hearts go out to you. I can't imagine handling death with no hope! The verse you quoted is exactly what we had engraved on the stone on Cayla's grave. Have a wonderful celebration of her life!

Tricia, I'm so glad that her suffering is over! Will be praying for the travel and all....
