My Grandma Call passed away on Sunday February 4th 2013. She has not been well for about the passed 2 years and my parents moved her into their home. This has been a wonderful way to spend time with her, because everytime we have gone to my parents home she has been there. We have had many opportunities to serve her and to watch this amazing lady grow old gracefully until she passed away. It has been amazing watching my parents take such great care of her.
She had been doing pretty well other than her hearing and her sight she still had her sense of humor and was pretty self sufficient, my parents took care of her meals and laundry and such and had to help her bath because she didn't have much strength. But the passed two weeks or so she really went down hill fast. The last couple of times I saw her last week I could tell that she was dying. It was hard to see her that way, but I am so grateful that I had the chance to see her so often and spend time with her.
She is such an amazing example to me of kindness, gratitude, humor, and enduring to the end. She was the best Grandma a girl could ask for. She was so incredibly supportive my entire life. She never missed a dance recital, piano recital, baptism, baby blessing, or birthday party. She loved her kids, grandkids and great-grandkids.
It has been wonderful having her so close and seeing my children get to know and love her. My kids have been very concerned since her passing about where Grandma's body was and if we would see her again. There is definately a hole in the place that Grandma sat at my parents home and she is going to be greatly missed. It is wonderful to have the knowledge that we will see her again, and the knowledge that there is life after death. Thank you for everything Grandma, I love you!

She was a beautiful person. She always looked liked she was ready to go dancing! I appreciated knowing her.
Time is a good healer, and it is a good feeling to know we will all see each other again.
