My brother in-law Kelly's mother passed away last week. She was a wonderful lady. I'm glad she was able to return home and see her dear husband again.
I love what my niece Zoey Michelle said on her facebook: 'Graduation ceremony' for my grandma was wonderful today! She is now with Grandpa and so many others in a much better place without pain. Happy day!

I am sorry for their loss. Good-byes are always so much harder when we are the ones left behind. I loved the tribute to her though, she sounds like an amazing woman.
You beat me to it! This will be on my blog shortly!
