    Laura, I type the with tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat. Thank you for sharing your sweet Grandma Jingles with us throughout the years. I think one of my favorite moments was when she requested “Fifty Shades of Grey”! I know she will be missed but I also know she is in good company {my Grammy is no doubt offering her a cup at this very moment!} The heavens celebrated her homecoming last night — a shooting star spectacular {Leonid Meteor Shower}! Sending love and prayers for you and your family, Deborah

    I am so sorry for your loss, Laura. I do hope you made it in time for one last hug. It's wonderful to have that closeness with a grandparent(s). My grandparents practically raised me, and I miss them every day, but the sweet memories cannot ever be taken away. My heart and prayers go out to you during this time.

    I will be praying for you friend. I am so sorry that your Grandma has passed but so happy for you that you had those years to re establish your relationship and that she wanted you there with her for this momentous occasion in her life. Praying you will fill Jesus presence in each step you take as you travel.

    Thanks for sharing all the love with us. Anyone could see the special relationship you had with Grandma Jingles. I never knew any of my grandparents, they had all died before I was born. See how lucky you were? But then, you already knew that:) Hang in there, sending prayers your way.

    Just wanted to let you know this morning that I was thinking of you and wanted to let you know I was sending a prayer off for all of you as you deal with your sorrow. It's the sweet memories that will guide you through and the sharing of the smiles and togetherness of her family and friends which give strength.
    Take care!

    I'm very sorry for your loss and very inspired by your story of reconnecting and forgiveness. It comes at a perfect time for me. Only a day ago I decided to reach out to a couple of family members that I had found too difficult to deal with for the last few years. We will not likely become as close as you and your grandma were but I won't have the weight of discord to bear. You are in my prayers.

    What a precious life. She reminds me of my own Mom. Such a sweet smile, and I know a sweet, gentle spirit. So sorry for your loss.
