Nah, he's my brother. Heh, not really, but yeah, good friends. Thanks for making a post, Zee. Means alot ;)

 

Was just checking my msgs before I left.

 

She lived a long and successful life. Died at 92 or 93, I believe. It was good though, because she was suffering near the end.

 

 

As Zee said, I'll be back Sat. night or Sunday.

 

I'll be one of the people who carry the casket.

I had to do that for my grandmother when I was a freshman in Highschool :(. She died by ovarian cancer at the age of 54... maybe about the sadest thing I've had to do. So I feel for ya Rp.

 

But 93...THAT'S A LIFE! I sure hope I live to be 93! She musta been a nice lady to have lived so long :D

 

 

 

 

 

 

Man, I don't usually reply to these sorts of threads, but this one hit close to home :(

I heard about that. He told me on msn. It sucks when you loose someone like that. My condolances go out to him and the rest of his family.

 

Well see him again soon. ;)

I have returned. It went well, the 6 grandsons (including me) carried the casket.

 

She arranged her funeral, I found out. What it would look like, and then we all went to eat at a restaurant. Grandma left some money so the after-funeral meal could be "on her".

 

Then we were sitting around looking at old family photos, going down memory lane...and then our aunt brought up a bunch of books for the grandsons. My grandmother wrote poems, and these books had her lifes poems in them, and each book had a check for $1000 in them, from Grandma.

 

 

 

Man...really was hard for us all.

 

 

 

 

Here's one of her poems.

 

 

"To Our Heroes"

 

God bless you, our American hero!

Our flag flies across our lands.

Our hearts and prayers are with you

As you fight in foreign desert sands.

 

Yell ribbons are one sign of welcome

They're everywhere here to let you know

We pray peace comes to all nations

May our heroes never again have to go.

 

Right now our skies are dark and gloomy

In the sky a rainbow will soon appear.

The sun will shine again on America

When our heroes come marching back here.

 

Our hearts and homes are empty without you

You're missed much more than you know.

Soon you'll be in the arms of loved ones

God be with you, where ever you go.
