Please Say A Prayer

I am writing this from the hospital waiting room, sorry it is so brief. Mark's Grandma is dying, we were called up here yesterday and we were able to say our goodbyes, she was alert and had us all laughing. Her priest read her her last rights and today will probably be "her day" as she told me last night. We love her more than words can say, she is our favorite everything! We are up north with the family and would appreciate all of your support and prayers as we all deal with this sad day in all of our lives. She is ready, she told us so. You can look back on my posts in September to see the celebration we had at her 90th birthday party.

What a beautiful blessed life Mark's Grandma had! How awesome that you are all there & "ready"...reminds me of the song, "I want to leave a legacy" (Nicole Nordeman) and it sounds like she has done just that....
