goodbye

Those of you who didnt already know, my grandma Ducommun has been sick with Hepatitis for a number of years. The past few years she has started to go downhill. We were able to go see her in May and although i knew it would probably be my last time to see her, i had hoped otherwise. After we left, she seemed to really go down in her health quite fast. Last week she took a turn for the worst so my parents drove down on tuesday to be with her. I wished i could have gone as well, but it was such short notice and i dont think Allistair (or me really) could have handled seeing her so sick. Anyways, after a week of sometimes being in a coma-like state, and sometimes being able to nod when asked questions, she passed away last night. My parents and aunt and uncle were able to be with her when she went and we are able to rest in the fact that she is finally with the Lord. her pain is gone and she is with her sister and with my grandpa again. Your prayers would be greatly appreciated as thought we know she is in a better place, its still so hard to say goodbye to the ones we love the most. also, we will be traveling up to wisconsin once again for her memorial service, so that will be a long drive for us and for allistair so pray for safety and strength.
