Goodbye

My sweet grandmother (dad's mom) passed away a few days ago. She was a kind and sweet woman who left a godly legacy. Jason and I (with baby Ava) were fortunate enough to be able to fly to Alabama for the funeral. It was a nice service and she looked beautiful. But, praise God that now her body is healed and perfect and she is home with her sweet Jesus. Praise God!
