Well, my grandma died earlier this afternoon.  She had been suffering a long illness, and started a serious turn for the worst Sat morning.  They moved her into hospice care, where she died today with my aunt, cousin, and my grandma's niece by her side.  My dad was in the air on the way when she died, so he will be getting there shortly    Any prayers and good wishes would be much appreciated.  The funeral will be either Tues. or Wed.


Thanks,
Jason

Tis the season I'm sorry Jason.  I know what you're going through.  Like they always say, at least we know she's no longer suffering and is in a better place now.  I wish you and your family the best and traveling safely.  You got my number and you know how to use it if you need to. 

[Rocksurfer]

Sorry to hear that, you will be in my thoughts.

You guys are awesome!!
