Farewell to My Grandmother
6 years ago
This past weekend was one of the hardest times in my life.
My grandmother passed away after a short-term battle with stage 5 (final stage) kidney failure, and a 40-year-battle with diabetes. Once my sole-surviving grandparent, she was born on February 21, 1929, and went home to be with The Lord on April 11, 2019. The calling hours were held Sunday night, and the funeral took place just yesterday afternoon.
Though I am deeply saddened by my family's loss, I'm very happy to have spent my 32 years of life so far with her and my other three grandparents. Without them, I'd be a totally different person than the one I am today. I will definitely remember her when my girlfriend cares for our orchids, and especially when I play the dulcimer that my grandmother has passed onto me.
I thank you all for your continued sympathy and emotional support as my family and I make it through these hard times. I have updated the description of my original composition, A Change of Cosmic Address, to honor not only the memories of both Blackwervolk and my grandmother, but also the memories of all who have gone before us.

I don't know what more to say, but I know it's very hard.
I will have a thought of you and...take care.
Though I am saddened by her passing, I also am very happy to have shared my life not only with her, but also with my other three grandparents. They each had a significant part in helping shape me into the fox that you and Elly both know and love.
