Bruce and Sabrina,
I keep thinking of those we have loved that have passed. They are now healed emotionally and, physically . They are who God made them to be . I find comfort in knowing we all will be together again and in the mean time focus on who they are now in heaven . The pain and shock are intense , especially with sudden loss . Praying for both of you, Sarah
I know Grandma Ruth was standing waiting for her to arrive.
I can only imagine their reunion.
I am sure their first talk lasted for days. They both loved each other’s phone visits.
Still hard to believe she went to be with the a lord.
All the love and memories you have of her will be cherished Dailey.
She is full of life and enjoying everyday with her family in heaven.
All out love to you all.
