[alessia55]

I'm sorry for your loss. If you don't mind me asking, how old was she?

[Norm66]

My condolences. You're lucky to have even known your great grandma. Keep the memories close.

My sincerest condolences on your loss:sad::sad:

Sorry to hear .

[Strutter769]

I am so sorry. For you to even post this news shows she really meant something to you. Like Norm said, you're very fortunate to have known her. I remember meeting my great grandmother when I was very young, but I don't know much about her other than she was Polish and Catholic. So, I second the advice of holding those memories very closely.

My sincere condolences..

So sorry to hear, I third Nornm's thoughts. Not many of us get to actually KNOW our GG's and you are very fortunate to have been able to know her. Remember everything she taught you, those are good old fashioned values to be held on to.

Thanks everyone, she meant allot to me. Alessia, she was 95.

I often forget how blessed I was to know her for almost 17 years.

Yes, you absolutely were extremely blessed in that. My gramma is almost 92, my son is 4. I hope she lives long enough that he remembers her well. You got 17 years with a GG. That really rocks!! Remember how lucky you are in that through your time of grieving and missing her.

I'm really sorry for your loss, but don't dwell on that too much. Remember the good times you were able to spend with her. Very few people get to know their great grandparents, I only got to know my great grandmother (just the one) for about 8 years. She lived a very long life, 95 is quite impressive, even for this day.

Condolences and big Scottish hugs

[Snakefood]

defintely take the big scottish hugs!! scottish hugs are warm and fuzzy!!

[ZARADOZIA]

**Warm Loving Hugs** Just Honor her by sharing all the good times you had with her. I know it is hard when someone you loves dies, part of you will always be missing because they are not there to talk to you. I buried my Adopted Dad in 2009. He was my boss, my friend, and the closest thing to a dad I had ever known. His passing was ...well..there aren't words to describe what it did to me. Sometimes I still cry because I miss him and our Friday Morning Pow-wows we had. I Honor him by remembering all the great times we had together. He taught me so much and I am a better person for knowing him.

We talked about so many things in life, politics, economics, religion. He was Jewish and I'm not even Christian. We had wonderful spiritual and religous conversations! I have a box of his stuff upstairs from when I cleaned out the office. I still haven't opened it to create a Rememberance Book, but it's there and it's snap shots of his life, voice recordings of him speaking Hebrew. I still have 14 messages on my phone from him that I listen to when I miss his voice. My Keepsakes.

No matter what people say, it will always hurt, although the pain does lessen over time. Physically she may be gone, but spiritually, she will live forever because she is in your heart and every time you think about her and share a story about her, you are breathing new life into who she is.

Do not focus on her passing because I know she would not want that. She would want you to remember all the love you shared and the life you shared together. And that is what you should focus on and share with others.

I don't do this very often, but today it seems fitting. I wrote this for when my friend passed many many years ago. You have my permission to keep it, if it is fitting for how you feel. Just rename it, I don't mind.

Vicky’s Eulogy

Laughter, happiness, and love.
All good things down below and up above.
The smile of a young child,
The smell of a rose,
So delicate and mild.
The gentle caress of a loved one.
The soft light of the morning sun.
For everything to come full circle,
Life must end before it can begin.
Do not cry,
You must rejoice.
For her soul has heard God’s lovely voice.
Her life was full and now complete.
The depth of her love was very elite.
We must cherish her memories and hold them tight.
For her spirit is around us both day and night.
For all the time was spent giving,
And in our hearts she will be forever living.
Never forget, never regret.
Laughter, happiness, and love.
All good things down below and up above.

I'm so sorry. You are in my prayers and thoughts.
