We buried Gimmaw today

Heff I feel your pain. My father mother died on my birtdhay when I turned 9. My mothers mother who raised me passed away Dec 31st of 99. That had to be the hardest day of my life, that and her 2 funerals (one down here and one up in Maine where she is buried) I wish she was buried closer to me so I could visit her. I haven't been back up north she then, I don't think I could do it, it just won't be the same. This year it will be 6 years since her death and it never get any easier.

May your Gimmaw rest in peace.

I loved my Gimmaw and Ninna both the same, I was closer to my Ninna so it was the worst days of my life when she died. It took months before I quit having crying spells. It really hit me today that Gimmaw was really gone. We all thought she'd outlive everyone in her family and we never thought she'd die and now that she has, it hurts alot. I'm glad she's gone so no one can hurt her anymore and she's free of pain and can be with her husband.

Matt's had to be there when Ninna died (2002) my great granny (2004) and now Gimmaw. I dread the day his grandparents die...all 4 are still alive and I know I'll have to be there for him

Heff I'm so sorry. I know how hard it is. I don't have any grandparents left. I never had a granddad. My dads dad died while my mom was pregnant with me and my mom has never known who her dad was. Maybe I have a granddad out there somewhere? I don't know. My mammaw died when I was in 6th grade and my granny died when I was 19. It was hardest on me when my granny died because she always lived in the house with me and her and I shared a room for a long time. I was really close to her. I feel so bad for you and your family. Death is such a sad thing, yet happy sometimes too.

Sorry for your loss. Funerals are hard.
You are a beautiful girl, and I am sure the family was proud to see you there, and to know that she lives on in her family in such a fine way...
