My mother, left, and my grandmother, right
Christmas, 2012
My beautiful grandmother Margaret Lollar (I called her Big Mama) went home to heaven yesterday. I've never been able to imagine a world without her in it.
She was 99 years old.
Big Mama will be greatly missed. She was a part of the Greatest Generation: She was an amazing woman. But I am comforted in knowing that my number one advocate is in God's presence.
Please keep my mom in your prayers as she lost her only brother in August. Also, Shelley has taken it particularly hard, and she has final exams this week.
Until next time...
Blessings!

Ricki Jill, I am sad to hear the news of your grandmother's passing. She was the same age my mother would have been if she were living. Christmas is an especially sad time to think of our loved ones gone, let alone their actual passing at this time. My sincere condolences extend to you, your mother, and especially Shelley in this sad time.
ReplyDeleteI'm so very sorry, RJ. When someone has been in your life for so very long, the loss is all the harder. My sympathies.
ReplyDeleteRicki Jill we are sorry for your loss. Our mother was 99 years old when she passed. Seven months short of her 100th birthday.
