My Dear Grandma Went To Heaven

On July 14th, my dear Grandma went to be with the Lord. Oh, how I am missing her already. For those of you who are new to my blog and didn't see my last post about her, she was diagnosed with cancer about a month ago(rectal, liver and lung cancer). Her 77th birthday was June 30th and all she wanted was to have her whole family together. She had a wonderful birthday weekend as you can see in the pics. :)

Grandma and all of her Grand Kids(-2)

Growing up, my Grandma raised me, my brother and sister. Every summer, all her (13)grand kids would gather at her house while our parents went to work. There was never a dull moment at Grandmas. She always kept us entertained with BINGO games, treasure hunts in the yard, playing in the sprinklers, and so many more activities.
When I was 2 years old, my mom and dad separated. Me, my brother, sister and Dad moved in my Grandmas house. I am so thankful for that. I am so blessed to have shared so many days and nights close to my Grandma! She is the most amazing woman I have ever met! Such a strong, loving, patient woman! She used to rock me to sleep every night until I was like 6! She made the most delicious meals and the prettiest holiday cookies!
She knew Jesus very well. She taught Sunday School every Sunday for as long as I can remember. She prayed with us every night. We would say the whole Rosary. She told us if we fell asleep, the Angels would finish with her. I can still hear her voice praying the Rosary even though that was about 20 years ago.
I know she is not suffering anymore and that makes me happy. She will live on in my heart as well as many others. I'd love if you could say a prayer for my family. :)

I love you Grandma!!
