Saying Goodbye

How is it possible to say goodbye to someone who has taught you so much?  This Sunday we received the phone call we had been dreading for a while now.  Our beloved "Gram" had passed away.  We know that she is in a better place now where there is no suffering or pain, but we still miss her terribly. How do you say goodbye to someone who in a large part has made you the person you are today?  Gram has taught so many people so many things there is not enough room here to list them all.  Gram was a strong woman with deep religious and family values that she has passed on to all who love her.  She was a small woman with a giant spirit and an even bigger heart.  It is an honor to have been made a part of her family.  These last several months as her illness progressed she never once complained and always relished in the time spent with family and friends.  So how do you say goodbye to someone who has meant so much to so many, you don't.  You say until we see you again.  You are always in our hearts.  We love you and miss you Gram.
