I'm so sorry for your loss, ChefKeith. Just this minute found your thread.

May the Lord surround the CK family during this difficult time. May each family member be healed in body, mind, and spirit. May the Lord bless and keep them. May He guide them during the journey known as mourning. May he help CK's mother on her Homeward way, and grant this entire family peace and joy in the midst of the desolation of their present landscape.

Amen

God bless you all. I'll be praying for your sick ones and for those of you providing care for them.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss but now you know she is in a better place.

[cubreporter]

She slipped away to her reward. She completed her life's work and now her soul rests in peace. May the new year bring you health and happiness.

[ChefKeith]

O.K. I am done stewing and can come back to this thread now I just had to stay away from it for a while.

I think I have cooked everything in the house and eaten most of it. (still waiting for the brisket to thaw but I'll get to that today)

Thank You All for the support.

I know Mom-Mom is not in pain and has moved on to a better place.

Definetly a Christmas that won't be forgotten on My end.

Sorry if I missed anybody on the list.

CK

Mildred’s Journey Home

Today – December 25, 2003 – is probably the most memorable day of the year in any of our hearts, because it is the day that we all celebrate the birth of our Lord and our Savior, Jesus Christ, the Son of God. This year however, everyone that receives this particular message will have another reason to remember and celebrate this special Christmas for an additional reason.

Today, at 11:25 AM, Mildred Housman Gramkow, chose to go Home, and spend her Christmases throughout eternity with her husband William, her sons Bill, Alan, and Pete, her step-grandson Rodger, and her two brothers Eyland and Ralph.

As you know, she has always been adventurous, and anxious to travel, but this trip has taken more time to plan than her others because of its importance. At 102 years of age, she has been expressing her willingness and indeed her excitement to complete her plans and be on her way. Being this close to her, we knew she was more than ready to leave, and she could not quite understand why it was taking so long to be called. She has at last received her wish, and while each of us will be saddened in our own way by her departure, we can all rejoice and celebrate this most exciting trip of all, and take great comfort in knowing that she is at peace, and is now exactly where she wants to be. She wants each of you to remember this day – but with lasting happiness for her, and very temporary sadness for you.

Her wishes were for immediate cremation, and her wishes will be honored. A Memorial Service will be planned probably sometime in January at her church, in Marietta, Ohio, for anyone wishing to attend. Details will be announced later. Her ashes will be interred later beside her husband William, in Woodlawn Cemetery, in Wellesley, Mass.

She had two local charities of interest; her Church for her faith, and the Senior Center for the assistance they offered her particularly with prescriptions.

In lieu of flowers, contributions in her memory can be made to either of the following:

The Gilman United Methodist Church
Capital Improvement Fund
312 Gilman Ave.
Marietta, OH 45750

The O'Neill Senior Center
Marietta Foundation
333 Fourth St.
Marrietta, OH. 45750

We have deeply appreciated your continuing interest in Mother over the years.

Barbara and Rodger

Continued prayers for your pain and loss. I know there is a better place but that doesn't mean we don't miss our loved ones when they are in Paradise.

[ChefKeith]

Please remove the part about donations from the above post if possible. I had an emergency come up as I was posting and did not edit that out.

Thanks
