Peace.
Early this morning, my beloved grandmother suddenly passed away.
I feel like my breath has been taken from me. She was the perfect wife, mother, grandmother, friend, and lived only to serve others.
I can only hope that one day I can live up to be half of the woman she was. I am grateful that we never watched her suffer. I know God has a plan for us all and that she is truly at peace now.

No! I can’t believe it. I’m so terribly sorry. Losing someone is never, ever easy and I think that it’s worse when it is sudden because you do not have time to prepare and say your good-byes. I hope that your family will pull together and be stronger in the end. I’m sooo very sorry, Jessica. I’ll be thinking of you and your lovely grandmother, and your whole family.

What you wrote about your grandmother was so thoughtful and sweet that I am sitting at my desk crying.
I’ve said it before, but you are such a compelling writer, and your words and sentiments matched my own feelings of my 93 year old grandmother – the only grandparent that I have left. I cannot imagine the day that she leaves me, but I LOVED hearing your memories and thoughts about yours. Hang in there!

I’ve been a fan of your site for a few months now, but this is my first post. I just wanted to let you know that I will be keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. I lost a loved one recently, and someone shared this quote with me:
“Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, LOVE leaves a memory no one can steal.”
May you find comfort in the many wonderful memories of your grandmother, and know that you will always carry her in your heart.
Jessica I am so sorry for your loss. Hope she is at peace now. Hug!

I am very blessed to have known your grandmother ……what a wonderful gift she was to the world.
Anyone who knew her, loved her.
Jess, you do not realize it , but you are very much like grandma Merchant.
Your kindness, your love for helping people, your warm hospitable way about you, has been passed down from grandma, dad ,now you.
Grandma loved YOU very much….you will always have a Guardian Angel.
God Bless YOU…..Love You……barb
