Grandma Jane

Anytime I see the symbols "XOXOXOXOXO" I think of my Grandma. She added lots of these to every card she ever sent me and never missed a birthday (mine or my kids). This morning my sweet Grandma Jane passed away. My mom was able to be there with her and give her comfort as she accepted the call beyond the veil. My Grandma loved God and tried to live her life as he would want her to, showing kindness to all she came in contact with. I think she was a little fearful of the unknown and was hesitant to make the leap. I know she is being taken care of now and hope she finds peace in the warm embrace she's receiving now. I'm so grateful for my knowledge of our Heavenly Father's great plan of happiness and to know that there isn't anything to fear in death. I think sometimes I take that knowledge for granted (which not everyone does have) and the peace that comes along with it. I'm so grateful for my family and to know that we are linked together with purpose; and I know that it was her influence in raising my mother that has molded me into the person I am today. I have a little bit of her inside me as do all of my siblings and that's something we can be proud of.
Lots of Love Grandma!
Now you have a better advantage point to watch over us by!
