A long day

Today we laid Jeremy's Grandma Talbot to rest. It was a long day full of emotions and memories for his family. I was Sad to see this wonderful woman go but I believe it was a blessing. She was in the very early stages of Alzheimer's and i think everyone knows how bad that can get. So instead of losing her memory and her dignity she passed peacefully in her rocking recliner with all the grace of a lady. I was able to spend some one on one time with her a few years back at a reunion and she was so wonderful! She told me stories of her life and I enjoyed sitting and listening to this wise woman who had grown out of adversity. She will truly be missed but as always I am so thankful for The Plan of Salvation and the peace it brings us in knowing that she was reunited with loved ones on the other side just as her loved ones that are still on this earth will be reunited with her some day. We love you Grandma and look forward to the day when we will be able to enjoy your company once again.

I'm so sorry.

That is sad, but definitely a blessing she didn't have to live much longer with Alzheimer's. My grandma did for years, and that's something I hope to never have to live with! I am glad you got to know her before.
