Just fyi for those of you in the Bay Area. We will be running an obituary for Mom in tomorrow's San Jose Mercury News.
(We will not be running one in any local San Diego papers just because most everyone down here has been notified through this blog or word of mouth.)
On a side note, yesterday I overheard our daughter Bennett while she was playing after school with her friend. They were in the toyroom together and I heard Bennett praying with this little friend, Caitlyn. She said "Dear Jesus, please make sure Gramma gets a beautiful crown because she was very, very special to me. Amen." I am sure my Mom has a gorgeous crown!! And I am so thankful my daughter has an amazing heart.
Thanks for sharing Bennett's precious prayer. A few of the women got together today at Panera. Marci and I talked how much we miss your mom but how glorious Heaven will be.
ReplyDeleteSo sweet and such a pure heart! Very touching. I will clip a copy of the obituary and save it for you. I'll also let the San Jose girls know to look for it. xxoo
ReplyDeleteDear Mandy,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this special moment Bennett had with her friend. She is who she is because of you and you are who you are because of your Mom. Three generations of God's shining glory.
Love you lots,
Dyanne
What a wonderful daughter you have, and good memories of her Grandma!! Thank you! Marcie
