I spent the weekend in California with Jon and his family. I wish I could say we were just feeling spontaneous and felt like getting away, but we went for a much different and much more important reason.
Jon's grandmother better known as, Nanny, was admitted to the hospital for the last time. She is 85 years old and has lived a full and happy life. She is the kind of woman, I think we all hope to be. People are drawn to her vivacious way of living and her sparkling personality. I have only known Nanny for 10 Years, but in that short amount of time I could see for myself that she was truly a rarity!
I am thankful to Jon's family for letting me be a part of those very special last days with their Nanny. The love was deep and Heaven felt very near. I know that the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ offers a special comforting peace for those who have a testimony of Eternal Families. I am thankful for a Father in Heaven who has a perfect plan and has given us a clear understanding of how to return home to Him.
We love you Nanny.
