Yet, her whirlwind of emotions only heightened as her family also lost her grandmother, 39 hours after losing her grandfather. The two had been married for 62 years and literally couldn’t live without each other. She takes comfort in knowing they are both together in heaven.

Grandma joined grandad in heaven this morning. Married 62 years and only lived without each other 39 hours. That's the kind of love we can all only pray to find and keep. Bittersweet few days losing them both, but smiling knowing they are together continuing their love story. Again, thank you for the thoughts and prayers to my family. Especially my daddy.
