My prayers are with you and your family Jenny. This is going to be a rough passage but I know you take comfort in the years you had with your Grandma, the fact that her spirit and love remain with you, and the ease of her passage. But this is not a time of logic rather a time of the heart, and that heart hurts.

you are in our thoughts and prayers, we are here for you.

A huge Hug for you, Jenny...I'm glad she went as easily as that for all your sakes. It's really nice that you get to keep the house...that's a wonderful gift in this day and age...and she will be with you there, in all the little things.
May your memories be sweet, may the grief you go through be tempered by knowing she loved you always.

It's so hard losing a loved one, Jenny. I hope you see and feel your 'Nana' in dreams soon. You'll feel her in your heart forever.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Jenny. Take happiness in knowing that you made your grandma's last years a bit easier.

Take care of yourself, my friend.

Love, Karen

[Randy & Betty in Pa]

Jenny, please know that Betty and I send our prayers and best wished to you and yours. I'm sure your Grandmother lived a long and happy life surrounded by a family of wonderful people like you but it was her time to move on and she did so without pain and in the company of those she loved and that loved her... What a beautiful way to go.... Still it's not easy to let go.... Just know you have friends...Feel free to call us if we can be of any assistance...

Best to you dear friend

R. & B.

My condolences Jenny.

[Kathleen Brogan]

So sorry, Iowa Sunrise. Take whatever time you need to walk through this. I know you two were close.

Kathleen

[leslie]

Oh, Jenny, you know Pat & I send our condolences. We know how devoted you were to your grandmother and I suspect she loves the fact that you're going to continue to live in her house. That's a legacy of love for you to cherish.

Hugs,

Leslie

[Darlene]

You said Grandma gone but that is not so. Your grandma will live for as long as you live and then some as long ass you pass that spirit of your grandma along to someone else. My sister and I were talking about our grandmother that passed on about 2yrs ago. My grandmother is in almost everything I do, think, my existence. She is intertwined in me and I hope to be able to pass that wonderful person on to my granddaughter and if I am lucky enough a little bit of me. Live on Grandma!

Big Hug,
Darlene

[DaveM]

So sorry to hear this, Jenny. There's a time for each of us and we must accept it but it doesn't make it one bit easier. You have the absolute right to lean on whoever you may need for as long as you may need to.

We'll be here for you. And if you need something that can't be handled on the board....I believe you know where to find most of us.

May peace be with you and yours.

[Agnes]

Sorry to hear about your loss, Jenny. May sweet memories of your grandma help you and your loved ones to live through the pain and loss.

I am so sorry for your loss Jenny, prayers and hugs to you and yours from over here.
This is something I always read from time to time, hope you dont mind me sharing it with you.


They are not dead,
Who leave us this great heritage of remembering joy.


They still live in our hearts,
In the happiness we knew, in the dreams we shared.


They still breathe,
In the lingering fragrance,windblown, from their favourite flowers.


They still smile in the moonlight’s silver,
And laugh in the sunlight’s sparking gold.


They still speak in the echoes of the words we’ve heard them say again and again.


They still move,
In the rhythm of waving grasses, in the dance of the tossing branches.


They are not dead;
Their memory is warm in our hearts, comfort in our sorrow.


They are not apart from us, but part of us,


For love is eternal,
And those we love shall be with us throughout all eternity.

Anon


All the best and hugs to you Jenny.

Glad to know your grandma went peacefully at the end, Jenny. My condolences.

(((HUGS)))

[jenny]

Thank you everyone for your kind words and support... it means the world to me.... As I said we were just hoping she didn't linger or suffer which she didn't however we were hoping it wouldn't be yesterday... as it was my moms birthday..........but grandma had her reasons I quess....and as if she knew the time to pick as the four of us were the ones that did the most for her ...I believe I will have a much harder time with grandma than my daddy as at least with him, we knew he was sick but with grandma it was very sudden....But I know I will be ok, everyone here knows the drill.... and I have some really great friends here. RandVa called me last night and it was so very special and meant the world to me....and having BeckyVa close by helps a great deal... she is truly special and so glad she found her way to the board through RandyVa...in this busy world we sometimes forget to just stop. Thank you all very much.... through you I know I will be strong and I know grandma will always be with me....

[jenny]

I forgot to add, grandma made the decision in 1985 to have her body donated to science.. she was always so proud to tell people that.... we will have a celebration of life memorial service saturday....... I just thought that was cool and they were her wishes and she can rest easy knowing everything she wanted was done HER way........

sorry for your loss Jenny, big warm hugs to you.

[Roady]

Jenny-Sorry to hear your Grandma's gone though grateful her journey was peaceful. You'll be in my thoughts my friend, as will your family. Your grandmother really gave a precious gift to science/medicine by donating her body. That makes her one cool lady in my book!

[Marcia Drummergal]

I'm sending you love and hugs Jenny. I know how close you and your Grandma were. Take comfort in all of your memories. Her love will always be with you.

Dear sweet Jenny.....
I talked with my brother Randy yesterday and he shared your news with me.
I will be calling you soon; I just know how much there is for you and your Mom to take care of right now and I am trying not to put you on overload my friend. We had a great deal of time to talk on our way up to the Birchmere, while at the Birchmere before the show and on the way home. I know that you and Grandma are both at peace with her passing. There were many God moments these past few days Jenny and I am pleased to know you will be staying in the house. We have each others numbers and know how to get to each others homes so I am here for you my friend....24/7 if needed. What a blessing you were to your Grandma and I am thankful she passed peacefully like you wanted her to ...to just go to sleep. Thank you for the privilage to walk this journey with you; we here at the JIMB are family to you so call on us as often as you wish. We love you Jenny...I will be in touch today.
Becky

[David from London]

Jenny, so sorry to hear your news. It's always difficult to get over losing someone, especially when they lived with you. I lost my mother a year ago next Sunday. It's a very strange feeling being without either of your parents.

[Judy]

It is a blessed person, indeed, who has a lifetime with a beloved grandmother...it also makes it harder to let her go. I'm sorry for such a loss, Jenny.

[diver_boy]

my sympathies to you and yours jenny....
she lived a long life and i'm sure she's in a much happier place now

Jenny, a big hug. And many fond memories to comfort you and your family.
