Tuesday evening, July 7th, 2012, my Grammy, Ella May Good passed away. She had been sick for several years and her health was declining pretty steadily. On Tuesday she had been rushed to the ER where they did all they could to assist her, but basically her body was just shutting down. It was her time to go. And now, she is at peace.
One of the first things I thought of when I heard that she had passed was that I wish I could have seen her more frequently, but she lived in San Jose, CA and it was often difficult for me to get down there. The next thing I thought of was that I am so very glad she got to meet Declan. And the third thing I thought of was the Bible she gave me on my wedding day. I have included pictures of the Bible below, as well as the inscription she wrote on the inside of the front cover.

My Dear Kadance,
Please accept this gift with all my love.
I carried this bible at my wedding 66 years ago. You were our first grandchild and a large part of our lives for 27 years. My prayers are with you and Sean for a wonderful life.
May God watch over you.
My best wishes!
Grammy
I so cherished this gift the day she gave it to me, and will cherish it even more now.
I love you Grammy. Thank you for all the love you gave.
