Nanna went quietly

My grandmother slipped away quietly this morning (Perth time). She is now at rest. I had to break the news to my parents -- never an easy task.

I can't begin to thank you all, my friends here on TFL, for your messages and e-mails in response to my last post.

They both humbled and lifted me, even though I read most of them through blurry eyes. I can't thank you all individually, so from me and Di and my family --- thank you, everyone.

I don't think I can say much else. God answered her prayers (and mine and, I know, Dad's) and took her to be with Grandad. That will help me over the next few days. I've got to be strong now, for Mum and Dad's sake, no matter how I may feel.

Thank you, friends.

Bruce,
I know this is a relief because of her pain and also sorrowful because of your love for her. Even though we are an ocean apart, I will keep you in my thoughts and hope it helps in some small way. Thanks for letting us know.
 
Bruce, I am sorry for you that she is gone. But celebrate her life more than you mourn her passing. She obviously had great strength and charactor, follow her example and you will be well.

Regards, Sam
 
Bruce,Somehow I missed this. My sincere condolences to you and your family. I'm very sorry to hear of your loss.
 
My condolences on your loss. May you be consoled in the knowledge that she is in the joyous company of your grandfather and God.
 
Nanna has completed the circle, and she is at rest now. Peace be with you and yours in your time of need.

Bruce ... my sincere condolences to you and your family.

It sounds like your Nanna lived a long, loving and fruitful life. That is the most any of us can hope for.

And, she left us with a fine grandson who treasures personal freedom and responsibility. I'm sure she was very proud of you, and the world has been a better place because of her. All of us hope to be so lucky.

Be strong in the days ahead. We'll keep a good thought for you.

Regards from AZ
 
My condolences, also, Bruce. I've lost, and miss, both of mine. May you have memories as vivid and pleasing as mine are.
 
Hang in there Bruce, your family needs your strength. While Nanna will be greatly missed and will leave a void in your lives, she is now at peace.

I am at a loss to offer you any words of comfort...

However, may you have comfort knowing that God answered your prayer and that your Nanna passed quietly and now rests with your Grandad.

Bruce--my sincere condolences to yourself and your family. She is reunited with her husband, and Heaven rejoices in her presence.
