The Death Of My Grandmother
My wonderful grandmother, my mom's mom, went to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Saturday, November 24, 2018.
She had fallen on the 23 (Black Friday) and had broken her leg. She went to the ER at UAB where they took immaculate care of her. The floor she was on at UAB once she was admitted was P9 (aka the Camellia Pavilion in the West Pavilion at UAB). They took the very best care of her Friday night and once she got back from surgery. Unfortunately, her 94 year old body was just tired and couldn't hold it's blood pressure like it should have been able to.
She slipped away in her sleep with family by her side. She was also an avid Alabama Crimson Tide fan and just happened to have the game on when she passed away.
She was, and is, the greatest grandmother around. She adored family and all of her friends. She loved her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ more than anything in this world. I know that she is with her husband (my grandfather) and also she is with my father. She is completely restored. No more pain. No more medicines. Her eye sight is back to normal. She's able to walk around without any troubles. I am blessed to have been able to have her as my grandmother for 32 years. I'm very grateful that she got to see one more Thanksgiving and see her great grandbabies.
Only thing that I wish is that she had lived long enough to see one more Christmas and to have been able to see Avonell and Uncle Harold one last time before she passed away. But I know she's watching over all of us right now.
Below is her obituary.
