A Life Well Lived


Dear Friends,

It is with sadness that we write to inform you that The Mom's maternal grandmother--affectionately known to us and to many of you as 'Mi-Mi'--passed away Saturday night.

From what we understand she had a nice dinner, wheeled around in her wheel-chair, and was getting ready for bed when she told the nursing home staff she was having trouble breathing. They stabilized her breathing with an oxygen mask and she settled in to rest. Her vitals, however, were not good. While they were calling for the paramedics, she peacefully went to be with the Lord.

We have so much to be grateful for that in the midst of our sadness, we can't help but smile for Mi-Mi.

To think that after 95 years here on earth, the past 28 years without her husband, the past 2 years with declining sight and hearing, she is now in heaven with perfect sight, perfect hearing, seeing so many friends and family members who have gone before her, rejoicing in her salvation.

Mi-Mi is well remembered by the family here at Phoenamenal Days.....she lived with us for a number of years and shared in our first adventure out west to Nevada (almost 10 years ago).

I am not going to try to summarize or eulogize her life here, today. Her life was too full for this little blog.

Please pray for us, for our extended family.

And if you knew Mi-Mi, smile. We are.








~The Mom

So grateful she is now with her Lord. We'll be praying. Nate has memories of a lunch that included MiMi.
