Our Special Angel!

We will miss you Grandma...Heaven is even more beautiful since you arrived yesterday!
Jim's Grandma passed away yesterday at the age of 86. God's timing is always amazing...Grandma just celebrated her 86th Birthday on June 23. We had such a great party for her in her Hospice room. We know how much Grandma loved parties and celebrations and we also know that she will be celebrating everyday with Jesus!
We will never forget the incredible Faith that Grandma had. She loved going to Church and having Bible studies and she loved quoting scripture from the Bible.
Her health started failing these past 2 weeks and the kids and I tried hard to visit her everyday. One day we wheeled her outside to get fresh air and I will never forget sweet Carson asking her if he could bring some cards the next day to play with her outside (she loved playing cards). She was so excited and smiled. The next day, we took cards but Grandma was not alert enough to play. Carson and Shaelyn were sad but they understood...instead, they sat and held her hands and again, she just smiled her sweet smile!

We will always have special memories of Grandma...her love for the Lord, our days together playing cards and dice in Flagstaff, the chair she sat in to read and her unconditional love for her family and all her grandchildren and great grandchildren. Thank you Grandma for so many memories and for sharing your AMAZING Faith with us and so many others!

We love you and already miss you so much!

Also Grandma...we know how much you loved your Diamondbacks and they need your help right now. Be sure to cheer them on...you have the BEST seat ever!

Hebrews 12:2

"Let us fix our eyes on Jesus,

the author and perfecter of our faith...
