A death in the family
My wife, Amy, asked me to post this update that she wrote:
————–
A beautiful end to a wonderful life.
That’s how my mother described my grandma’s passing tonight (Friday) at 9 o’clock.
I’d written before about how, at grandma’s request, the family had been singing hymns to her for the past few days.
Tonight, it seems, they sang to her from 6 p.m. on, right up until she passed.
The signs were there. The end was near.
And the end was peaceful and painless — and filled with the hope that accompanies the faithful’s departing.

Ken and Amy, So sorry to hear about grandma Irene. She sounds like a wonderful person and I know you will miss her so much.
My sympathy to you and your family. We recently lost a dear family member to cancer ourselves. He was a wonderful man who will be deeply missed.
Thank you, Sharon. Sad as we are, I’m happy to know that your son’s condition hasn’t worsened. I’m hopeful there will be many more good months ahead for him and the rest of your family.
My sympathy to Amy, you, and your family on the death of Amy’s grandma. Yet how wonderful there was so much love and caring between Irene and her family! May God be with you more than ever now and for the next few months as you adjust to life without Irene.
