Grandma Cassie Lillian

I want to thank all of you who have prayed for and asked after my dear Grandmother. She went to be with the Lord 48 short hours ago. She was 99 years, three months and 5 days old. She said she always knew she would live to be a hundred, so I'm thinking the fact that she was in her hundredth year must qualify. She had the most beautiful spirit. She was cheerful, and funny, and happy, and never stopped working, in spite of the most difficult life.

Grandma lost her Mother very young. She was only about 40 when she died in a car accident, when there were still almost no cars on the road.

Then there was Louise . . . Grandma's second daughter. Louise was buried on her 13th birthday.

I'm telling you this because I keep having this picture come into my mind, over and over . . . and it's beautiful . . .

it's Grandma, in a housedress, as a young woman . . . and Great Grandma . . . and Louise . . .

they are all holding hands and laughing and dancing around in a field of white wildflowers.

I think they must be . . . . . .
