Good-Bye


Rich's grandmother, Alma McDonald passed away on Monday. Today we are going to her funeral to say our goodbyes. It's always sad to lose someone that you hold dear. She is a beautiful soul & a kind & generous person. I am glad to have known her for the few short years that I did. She will be greatly missed in this family. She was not well , so I know that she is in a better place now. I'm glad I know this- it gives me great comfort through death. I love knowing that because I was married in the Temple I can have the assurance of being with my family after I die. I am sure she was greeted in Heaven by her parents & brothers and sisters who love her & have missed her, too.

Life is so precious. Losing a life always makes me appreciate those that I love even more. I want to spend more time with Grandma & Grandpa who are still alive. I want to hug my kids more. I want to take more pictures of my family. I want to learn more about the stories of their lives. Most of all, I want to remember to treasure the moments I have with them.

Sorry to hear about your loss. Please hug Grandma closer and longer for me the next time you see her. I miss her terribly, and wish I was only across town like you are!
