Remember when you said you saw Aunt Ruby one time when you woke up from a nap and that when you reached for her she dissapeared, Well grandma she is there with open arms waiting for you. She has been there taking care of your kitty waiting for the day she could be with you again. You are with Aunt Ruby and your kitty now she has missed you so much. Aunt Ruby will take care of you now. Im sorry Grandma that I could not be there for you on your day to say good by to you on your way up to Heaven to meet GOD. I will miss you so very much and I thank you for all the wonderful times we had threw my life, and all the memories I have. I love you so much lil Grandma.

...and the Angel showed me the Holy City…its brilliance was like that of a very precious jewel, like jasper, clear as crystal. It had a great, high wall with twelve gates, and with twelve angels at the gates…The wall was made of jasper, and the city of pure gold, as pure as glass…The foundations of the city walls were decorated with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, the fifth onyx, the sixth ruby, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth turquoise, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst. The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl. The great street of the city was of gold, as pure as transparent glass...The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp…On no day will its gates ever be shut, for there will be no night there.

For no other place is good enough for my Grandmom.

Grandma
Grandma was a mighty lady, she was small but like a bear and her cubs don't mess with her. Through all her trials and tribulations she remained sweet and loving. She is such a encouragement not just to her family but such an example of courage, strength and passion. I don't know if she like to dance but I imagine with all the joy, laughter she has now.
God Bless you...
Aunt Elizabeth
