Blog winding down

It's getting close to the time to wind down this blog, as there really isn't much more to add, other than Nana's memorial is this Saturday.  She was quietly and peacefully interred last Thursday at Forest Lawn in Cypress.  Laura put together several pages for a guest book that I sent off to a printer earlier today (and hopefully it arrives without any problems).  We are currently working out how the program for the memorial will go, as we'll be meeting with our pastor this week to go over the arrangements for the memorial.

In thinking over the past nearly two weeks since Nana's passing, I'm grateful that she was on hospice care.  The hospice people were so incredibly helpful.  Nana was able to be at home with her family and have her needs met and exceeded in many cases.  Laura and I are both thankful that Nana wasn't bedridden.  Had she been, her care would have been especially difficult for Laura.  The Lord saw fit to take Nana when the timing was right according to His purposes and not ours.  We're all thankful that Nana is rejoicing in Heaven with her Savior.

1 Corinithians 2:9
But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard,
neither have entered into the heart of man, 
the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
