Mere words can not express the sadness felt when we lose a loved one . 
Please think back to the joy your Grandmother must have had in her the day you visited her .
My condolenses to you and your family .

Katonsdad and family.

i have a little stitchery piece that says "when god closes a door, he opens a window"  grandmothers are very special people, the time you were able to spend with her, a blessing, memories to be cherished and what she "taught" you one day to be passed on.

My prayers are with your family. When passing happens so suddenly it is both unbelievable and shocking. As Black said, take comfort that she knew how much you loved her.

I know how you feel.  I was very close to both of my grandmothers and it was like a chunk had been cut out of my
heart when I lost them.  In time the festering wounds will begin to heal and beautiful golden memories will take
their place.  My prayers are with you.  This will be a hard, sad time for you.  Trust God to help you through.

Much Love,
Mimi

Paddbear, how are you doing?  I am sure this has been a very hard week for you.  Take care of yourself during this time.

Thanks to everyone for all of your kind words. Sorry I haven't been around much to respond, but I just haven't been in much of a mood to get on the computer, especially to read this post. I've gotten on a few times just long enough to post something on IHD here and there, but would quickly lose interest. I just read everyone's replies, and now I wish I had been keeping up! You all have made me feel so much better. Thank you so much.  :cuddle; :cuddle; :cuddle;

We leave tomorrow for her funeral in NY and will be back on Saturday. I'm not sure if my husband will have his laptop, so I may or may not be around til next weekend.

Padd, it is very understandable that you haven't been posting, I'm glad you let us know that you are okay. 
Just remember, we will be thinking of you as you attend her funeral.   

For now, take the time to grieve, to remember your grandma. Remember the good times, how close you two were (and are).

Thanks Anne. I'm still having a lot of trouble accepting this. I was unpacking our bags from the trip yesterday and found the gift box she had put a gift card in for us for Christmas. I turned it over and saw her writing on the gift tag and lost it. I'm going to be a complete mess at her funeral Friday morning.  :'(

You will be reminded often of her often. Mine has been gone over 20 years. I think of her so much. I was at Christmas Mass and heard one of her favorite hymns. We all love you and are here for you.  :grouphug;

I never knew my grandmothers - my parents had me when they had already started having grandchildren!  I only just knew my paternal grandparent until I was about 9.  But I do understand your pain.  I shared my daughter's pain when my parents died.  Just this morning we were remembering my mother who died in 2000 and my daughter had a meltdown.
However, memories are very special things.  Hold on to your memories forever.  :cuddle;
