Hi homies-
Checking in real late (or real early).
Just wanted to let you homies know that my grandma passed away tonight, around 10pm central time.
I really don't know if anyone was in the room with her at the time when she passed. I'm guessing the hospice chaplain may have been with her.
My mom was there this afternoon til early evening tonight.
Unfortunately, the nursing home that grandma was at was about half hour away, or else I would have tried to be there tonight, But DH had to work late tonight and we had some huge downpours here.
Well at least grandma died in peace and there wasn't much of a struggle. She was on morphine for comfort.
Don't know when the wake and funeral will be yet. I'm guessing sometime over the weekend. My mom and aunt will be making those arrangements. THey already have a funeral home picked out, just need to arrange which day.
If anyone is interested in reading it, I'm guessing in the next day or so, the obituary will be written up in the Chicago Tribune website. Not sure if obit will be in the Daily Herald newspaper website. My grandma's name is Rose K. (putting first initial of last name only here for privacy purposes).
It hit me hard at first, but doing ok now. Now I know she is in Heaven and cooking for Jesus(which she always talked about wanting to do)
She is free now to cook forever
I was never much of a cook(not my specialty), but grandma I heard was a great cook!
I will definitely miss visiting with her at the nursing home. She always had some funny, quirky comments to say when we would visit her. She would also say nice comments.
Don't know if I'll be helping my mom tomorrow with cleaning out the room.
So may not be here much tomorrow.
Any homies going on vacay soon, have a great trip!
Hi to all
