I’m not sure what to say. My deepest sympathies to all of my family and their friends for the loss of Grandma Sam.
It is never easy to say goodbye to a loved one.
Unfortunately, I have not had the opportunity to come and meet her for the first time. Now I will never get the chance. With the way Aunt Heidi speaks of her, I know I would have loved her.
May you rest in the greatest Peace Grandma, see you on the other side someday!
💙💙💙
It is a Great Loss to All people of this Earth ,MOST OF ALL , THOSE OF US BLESSED ENOUGH TO CALL HER OUR MOTHER
But A TREMENDOUS GAIN TO THE LORD,
THE GREAT SPIRIT HAS NOW REMOVED HER SUFFERING , AS HER EARTHLY BODY WAS NOT QUITE ENDOWED WITH THE IMMORTAL GIFT , BUT HER SPIRIT WILL LIVE ON IN ALL OF US AND SHE WILL WITH NO DOUBT BE AT THE SIDE OF CHRIST AND REMAIN IN HIS GRACE FOR ALL TIME : AND BE AWAITING US TO JOIN WITH HER THERE WHEN THE GREAT SPIRIT CALLS US , AMEN ..
To the world you were a sweet and courageous woman, to me you were Grandma Sam. My favorite memory of you would be the times when you lived in the little cottage and you would pick bananas from the tree and give them to us with some cherries. I loved exploring that property as a young girl with you. I’ll never forget you yelling at Toby fifty times a day about not messing with your plants, and here we are today with him running a plant nursery for 10+ years. You lived a long life following the Lord and always showing love to our massive family. You will be dearly missed by many. In the arms of our Creator, may you rest in paradise. I love you, Grandma Sam. ❤️
I’m trying to be strong momma , in your absence. I know I will see you again , I dream of you every night now 💙 I miss you and I will always love you 💙💚
