Today we has a post planned full of holiday decorations and some last minute ideas….
Today we lost our grandmother.
She was 93, she was suffering, she had stopped eating and drinking…and she was ready to be with her Savior.
This is the last time we were all together….in 2002..that is so sad to us.
We were not ready to say goodbye.
We would have seen her in a few days. Now we will be attending her memorial service.
Today we are mourning the loss of our last grandparent, yet we feel so blessed to have had grandparents as long as we did in our lives. Our children were blessed to have met GREAT-grandparents, when so many never do.
Please be in prayer for our mom, and our aunts and uncle.
Today we will spend time remembering this hardworking, flower loving, simple farmwife from Michigan.
This post is dedicated to the memory of Beryl Kaiser…
our grandmother.
So sorry for your loss Heather and Vanessa. Will be praying for you and your family. Thanking God today that your Grandmother is celebrating in heaven and that her suffering has ended.
During this sad time for you both, hold close to your hearts all of the memories that she left you. I’m sure they will help sustain you.

I am so sorry for your loss. No matter how grateful we are for the time together and happy we are that our loved ones will be with our Lord, it is never easy to say goodbye. My thoughts and prayers are with you and remember she will be smiling because you are all together again.

So very sorry for your loss. I will be thinking of you both and your family in prayer.
Heather and Vanessa, I’m holding you and your family close in my prayers this afternoon. Heaven is a brighter place today — and this earth is a better place because of the legacy your dear grandmother left behind. You girls are a testament to that! I look forward to walking through heavenly gardens one day with Mrs. Kaiser. In the meantime, I pray that God will bless you with beautiful memories and joyful laughter as you celebrate her life and the birth of the One she served.
Dear Vanessa and Heather,
So sorry to hear about your lovely Grandmother, Beryl.
I know first hand how hard it is to say goodbye to loved ones, especially those who have been such an important part of our lives. Such a void is left and it will will remain for a long time and then little by little that void is replaced with happy and joyful memories and moments of laughter as you remember all the good times.
For now all you can do is be there for each other and encase yourselves in family love.
Sending good thoughts your way

She is with our Lord and celebrating with the angels. No more pain or suffering ~ just joy!

Thanks for sharing with us. Sending prayers and ((Hugs)) your way. xo Liz
So sorry for your loss. Even knowing she’s with the Lord, free of pain and probably having a banquet, doesn’t remove the pain. You’ll all be in my prayers. My uncle, same age, with Alzheimers broke a hip and is having surgery today. We might be mourning at Christmastime, too. If you can think of it, prayers, please?
Love,
Janet
I’m so sorry girls, what a difficult time. You are in my thoughts and prayers, wish I were closer to help. Lots of love

I’m so sorry for your loss, Vanessa and Heather. And I’m so very happy for your grandmother. How amazing to meet Jesus face-to-face right when the world is celebrating his coming to earth! His coming means that He is with us. I know He is with you now. I will pray for your family and especially for you two this week. God bless you. I look forward to meeting your grandmother some day!
Sending prayers! I hope that knowing she’s in a better place & no longer suffering brings you all peace.

Vanessa and Heather,
So sorry to hear about the passing of your grandmother. This is such a tough time to loose someone close but just remember that she is in a happy place. You are both so fortunate to have had her for so long and I know you have wonderful memories. I lost my one grandmother when I was 6 years old and still remember her like it was yesterday. She was such a special part of my life.
Prayers and Hugs to you and your family,
Marianne

I am so sorry to hear your grandmother passed away. I am sending my prayers to your family!
I’m so sorry for the loss of your grandmother. Having JUST returned home from a visit out of town to see my grandmother {and crying as we left knowing that she is nearly 90 and I never know how much longer we have}, this post touches my heart. You all are in my prayers for comfort and peace.
I am so sorry for your loss. Precious memories in your photos and a such a blessing to have her as long as you did.
I am so sorry Vanessa and Heather. I lost my grandmother just before Christmas last year and I know how hard it is. If you need anything or just want to talk- I am here. Sending good thoughts and prayers your way. Hugs, Courtney
I’m so so sorry to hear about your grandmother’s passing.♥
I am so sorry for your loss, especially during the holidays…but be joyful! A king is born, and because of Him you will be with your beloved grandmother again in eternity. Praying for your family.
I’m crying.
I had a long night of praying for someone so I’m pretty spent anyway. Then, I saw this post. I lost my own beloved grandmother the week before Christmas. She was buried on my birthday, Christmas Eve. I have been transported back to that day by reading this.
It’s always hard to say good-bye. It doesn’t matter how old they are or how feeble or that they are at this very moment casting their crowns at the throne and hearing the words, “Well done.” The joy you feel at their glorified status only helps a little to tender your lonely heart right now. I know. I remember.
And I remember the peace that passes understanding guarding the hearts of my family like the miracle it is. May God’s indescribable peace be yours today.
I care. I pray.
I am so sorry for your loss, my heart and prayers are with you both and all of your family. I know she is resting in the arms of the Lord. God Bless. Hugs, Marty
I am so sorry Heather and Vanessa. You and your children are so blessed to have had her so long in your lives. She will live on through your memories and the stories you continue to share about her. May peace be with you and your families this Christmas.
Girls, I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers & thoughts will be with you ~ it is hard at the present time for my family too, we lost a loved one too and said goodbye last week. Thinking of all of you!
I am so sorry, Heather & Vanessa, for your loss. This special lady has obviously left many wonderful memories, & her legacy will live on in you, your children and your other family members. I know this is truly a sad time, but my prayer is that you will soon remember all the wonderfulness this woman has left you with & dwell less on her loss. God bless all of you.

Heather and Vanessa, I am so sorry for your loss. The Homegoing of a Christian loved one who had had a long full life like your grandmother can be such a celebration but it’s still hard. So very hard. Some of the fondest memories we have as adults are the times spent with our grandparents. Cherish those memories. My prayers are with your families.
My deepest condolences to you both and to your families for this great loss.
All my best,
Christina
