Heavenbound

Grandma Sugar went home to be with Jesus last night. They found cancer and when they laid out her options she liked the one where the streets are golden and there is rejoicing with Grandpa Joe. She lived a wonderful life and has left an amazing legacy in her children and grandchildren. She was Tracy's grandma but she accepted me and made me feel like one of her own granddaughters. When T and I got engaged, she sent me a tea cup. I added it to my collection and can't wait to smile and think of her each time I have tea with it. She had a twinkle in her eye and a love in her heart for all. She made the girls feel special and always had space by her side or on her lap for 1 more baby! 
Grandma, we love you and we couldn't hope for a better home for you. Go in peace and know you will always be in our hearts until we see you again!

My heart goes out to you and your family. What a sweet lady she sounds like. Praise the Lord that this is not an eternal goodbye though. It's pretty amazing to think that she is seeing what we all can't wait to see. My grandma went to be with the Lord two and a half years ago. Every time I think about all the wonderful memories we had here, I remember that she is home, in His presence and that makes me homesick for Him even more. Sending hugs your way friend:)

I'm sorry you didn't get to see her one more time. It's amazing how much of a void is left when a grand parent goes home to be with the Lord. I'm so glad you can grieve as one with hope. Wish I could be there to hug you sister.
