I was saddened to learn of the death of your beloved Grandmother. Like you Greg, I believe that your grandparents and your wonderful father are all together which is cause for rejoicing.
Life does not begin and end here oh this earthly plane. Your grandparents and your Dad live on in eternity with Our Beloved Creator.
My heartfelt sympathy goes out to each of you. Take care, be kind to yourselves and love to each of you.
