We can cry with Hope

So, today I say goodbye to another saint in my life. My family was "adopted" into the Parker family from the time I was an infant. We grew up spending holidays with them and so they are somewhat closer to us than even our own extended family. Today I say goodbye to Grandma Parker. At around 12:30 this afternoon she went home to be with the Lord...she joins her husband and her sons David and Douglas. David passed away a little less than 2 years ago in a car accident and it has been really hard on the family since then so I ask you to pray for them as they face more grief. It was not completely unexpected and she lived to be 92 years old and through those years loved God and her family! I will miss her greatly and am thankful for her for being my spiritual grandmother.
