Hey everyone.
I just wanted to put up a quick post letting you all know my grandmother, or who I call MommaNipper, passed away this morning at 5:45. She fought a very brave and couragious fight with pancreatic cancer. Up until the very end she fought until we all told her it was OK to rest. It was a very beautiful thing. She was in her home laying in her favorite place of her home. My grandfather, PapaNipper, got up very early this morning and sat at her side. He sat there holding her hand telling her how after 50 plus years of marriage he would marry her again today. She took her last breathe with him right at her side. You know my grandparents had one of the those amazing bonds that you only dream of. My MommaNipper was the most amazing, selfless, and caring person I have ever known. Ever since I can remember she was always "doing" what needed to be done and helping others. She always put others needs before her own and was happy doing it. Her absolute favorite phrase, which she repeated often, was God is good all the time, All the time God is good. I know that she truly believed that even at the end.
MommaNipper as I sit here and type I know that you are with me. You have helped make me the woman I am today. I only pray that I may live to be half the woman you are. Sweet dreams-
