What a Lady

What a Lady
Thursday we physically laid to rest my Grandma born February 11 1921 she past from this life to a life in eternity with the Lord on December 27 2010. She was a lady of many accomplishments one was her family she had 1 daughter 5 grandchildren 12 great grandchildren and 4 great great grandchildren and many nieces , nephews, cousins and friends.
She lived life large never on the sidelines always wanted to be in the game. I can't every remember a time that if you needed her she was not willing to help you out wither it was taking care of you kids helping you through an illness or being a copilot on a trip. Nothing was to small or large for her. She had a very interesting hobby of hand quilting quilts she wanted every occasion to be marked in life wither it was your wedding or the birth of your child every quilt had a story or a reason some were just because she was bored.
Later in life she liked to take trips it didn't matter where to all you needed to do was call her up and say do you want to go and she say yes when will you be here she didn't need time to get ready she always had a bag packed and was ready to go. She was always up for an adventure.
My grandma's family was second only to her faith in Jesus Christ. As much as she loved her family she loved the Lord more. Grandma lived a life that reflected Jesus Christ everyday she showed you what it meant to have unconditional love. Most of all grandma lived out
1 Corinthians 13 4-7
4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant 5or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 6it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. 7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
I will always remember grandma's unconditional love and her since of humor even if it was sometimes twisted. she showed this even in death she planned her funeral right down to what she was going to wear her pajama's she wanted us to know that she is not died that she is just asleep here on earth and alive in eternity with Jesus Christ waiting for the day she will see us again. This is a poem that was read at her funeral that she had heard and I think this was the last message she wanted us to hear

Miss Me – But Let Me Go

When I come to the end of the road and the sun has set for me,

I want no rites in a gloom filled room.

Why cry for a soul set free?

Miss me a little – but not too long.

And not with your head bowed low.

Remember the love that we once shared.

Miss me-But let me go,

For this is a journey we must all take,

And each must go alone.

It’s all part of the Master’s plan,

a step on the road to home.

“ Miss me – But Let Me Go…”

We laid grandma's physical body to rest in a cemetery named Internal Order of Odd Fellows how funny is that. Grandma was an odd fellow in this world because she put others first she was a true servant of the Lord if that is an odd fellow sign me up. I will miss her so much and long for the day I will see her again. I know I will see her again because I know the same Saviour the Lord Jesus Christ that she knew so I didn't have to say goodbye just see you later.
