I just wanted to take the opportunity to tell all of you who sent materials, offered advice and gave help to my grandmother's Bible Blocks quilt, one more big "Thank You". She thoroughly enjoyed her colorful quilt every day.
My grandmother finally overcame her fight against Alzheimer's at 1:00 a.m. this morning. She was a devout and faithful Christian and there is no doubt in my mind that she is in a much better place now than she has been for the past year.
Last night before my mother left her, my mom said that Mimi raised both arms up off of the bed, reached out and called, "Dutch"! My grandmother and grandfather were always called Dutch and the Dutchess. Mom says she felt sure that her mom had gone to meet her dad. What a joyful reunion that must be.
It is so hard to say good-bye and I hurt deeply for my mother who just can't imagine a world without her mother in it..... but I am so happy for my grandmother to finally have peace and serenity in her Father's house.
Thank you again for your love and support. Pat (on your hill), my grandmother loved those lilies and I will always think of you whenever I see them. Thank you, with all my heart. I hope and pray that my mother will continue to take comfort in Mimi's Bible Blocks in the days to come.
