Goodbye

March 29, 1918 - October 16, 2006

Did you ever think you would have made it to 88 years? I am grateful for the many years God granted you to us. Your life made a significant imprint on me.. I will forever think of you rocking your 'babies' to sleep as I rock my own child. I will remember the taste of your baked macaroni and cheese, and your pineapple upside-down cake, and of course the sweet tea that was always available. I will remember how much you loved and put your trust in Jesus. Thank you for being the best grandmother that you could be.

We bury you tomorrow Muzzie. I am sad that I will no longer arrive at your door and be greeted by your open arms and smiling face. But I rejoice knowing that you are no longer suffering, and you are now at peace. I will forever love you, my only grandmother I ever knew, and I hope by the time I am a grandmother I can be as loving to my grandchildren as you were to yours.

I'll miss you, and I can't wait to see you again.

Very loving tribute, Cat. I am so sorry for your loss. You know, one of the greatest joys of being a Christain is the hope that we have for eternal life in heaven. I know your pain on earth is deep but I too believe with all of my heart and soul that Muzzie will meet you at the gates of heaven one day. Hugs to you and your family during your loss.
