Unhappy Grandma died

Hey everyone, I just got off the phone with my stepdad and he told me that my grandma died. She had a massive heart attack at the ripe age of 87 years young. She was such a vibrant woman full of smiles and encourgaing words. I'm really going to miss her sense of humor and her upbeat attitude. For being as old as she was she sure could cut a rug on the dance floor. God bless you Grandma!

I'm sorry for your loss, but it sounds as if she'll live in your heart.

My condolences. Be thankful for the many years you had with her. I can barely remember any of my grandparents, as they all died before I was born or when i was very young.

Very sorry for your loss. I can understand what you are going through as we buried my grandmother just a few months ago. Thoughts and prayers from the VR family for you and yours. She sounds like she indeed lived a very wonderful life, leaving many fond memories.

Thank you everyone for the kind words. She was my last living grandparent and I all ready miss her terribly. I take comfort in knowing that she was such a good grandma and gave so much of herself to us kids. She was the coolest grandma I have ever known. We spent many nights playing cards (which was her favorite) and laughing with her and listening to all of the funny stories she would tell.
