Grandma passed away today

Mar 25, 2007 24 Replies

This morning my grandma (90) went take her seat at the big quilters frame in Heaven. Grandma was my inspiration to be a quilter. I used to seat under her quilting frame and push the needle back to the top. All the while listening to her tell of her childhood and how she met grandpa and raised 12 children and out lived Grandpa and four other children. I also learned to cook watching her glide around her kitchen never measuring just a pinch of this a palm of that and a ladle of whatever else. Grandma has been in an Alzheimer fog for about 4 yrs with fewer and fewer lucid days.

{{{{{{{{Diana and family}}}}}}}}}}}}} Your Grandmother sounds like a great lady and I know she will be missed.

Your grandma has left a wonderful legacy to you Diana - memories and quilting (as well as all the other things we remember our grandmas for). It will be a joy to her to be able to think clearly again. One can't be sad at that, however sorry we are for ourselves to be missing her presence. . In message , DQLTS writes

{{{{{{Diana}}}}}}}}} your Grandma will arrive to a fine quilters welcome complete with a big old bowl of M'n'M's and the best chair round the frame. now all her storys will come flooding back to her as lucid as ever and with a captive audience. jeanne

Howdy!

Whatever influence she had on you, D, it was good. Bless your Grandma, you, and her loved ones. Heaven is all the richer today.

Hugs, Ragmop/Sandy

Diana, so sorry to hear about your Grandma. Alzheimer's is such a horrible disease. My father had Alzheimer's and passed away almost two years ago. It is so hard to watch them fade away right before your eyes. My condolences and hugs go out to you and your family.

Diana, I'm so sorry for your loss. Nothing can replace your memories of your Grandma, so I'm glad you have such wonderful ones to treasure.

Diana, I am so sorry to hear about the lost of your grandmother here on earth, but so happy to hear she just changed her address to Heaven's Streets of Gold and some day you will be able join her again. I will be praying for you and your family to make the change a little more bearable. I know it is hard and believe me not a day goes by that you don't think of them in some way.

Diana, I'm so sorry for your loss. She sounds like a very special person who meant a great deal to you. My grandmother, who would have been 90 in June passed away in February. I was a total wreck. I had gone to see her in October after a mild stroke and she seemed to be recovering so well. She had another stroke in February. This time she wasn't strong enough to fight.

So sorry, Diana! I am sure your grandmother is at peace and has joined her loved ones. Hugs to you and your family from Tucson.

Big hugs to you and your family. No doubt your Grandma and my Memere are up there together, stitching and chatting away.

Sending ((((((HUGS))))) and prayers to you and your family. You know she's in a better place with lots and lots of quilt fabrics and quilters to spend time with when she's not with her DH and children who are there! I think Alzheimer's Desease is soooo hard on everyone. ME-Judy

Sorry you're hurting.

I guess my grandma just scootched over a tad to let yours get to the really big quilt. There is a terrifically huge fabric store up there--and everything is free. Debra in VA See my quilts at
