<BR>At 2:34am, my Gran finally stopped struggling and passed away. I got to be with her, hold her hand, tell her it was ok to go, and tell her good-bye. <P>She was 90, had 14 children, 3 step-children and about 200 grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was a very courageous and strong woman. I am proud to be her granddaughter. <P>Mitzi

I am so sorry to hear of your Grandma's passing Mitzi.<P>I am sure she was equally proud to have had you as a granddaughter.<P>I'm glad to hear that her suffering is over, and that she has gone to a better place. You and your family will be in my thoughts today.<P>Take care Mitzi...<P>------------------<BR>nick<P>it's only time that heals the pain <BR>and makes the sun come out again

Mitzi,<P>You and your entire family have my condolences.<BR>I'm sorry for your loss...<BR>...and the loss to all who had come in contact with your grandmother.<P>Follow in her steps... and you too will be rewarded.<P> <P>Jim

Mitzi,<P>When the one you loved becomes a memory, may the memory become a treasure.<P>Prayers and stuff,<P>Bumper

WOW! She was an amazing lady to bear all those children, and have such a great legacy of children and grand children.<P>I am sorry for your loss<BR>and will keep you and your family in <BR>my thoughts.<P>tom<BR>

My sympathies and prayers for you, your family, and your grandmother.<P>------------------<BR><I>Pain is a given, misery is optional.</I>

I'm so sorry for your loss -- yet so happy that you were there, that she passed in the midst of love, and was so loved herself.<P>(((((Mitzi and family)))))

May your many wonderful memories be a comfort to you during this time.<P>Sorry to hear of your loss.

I'm so sorry to hear this news. I know she was a very special woman - especially to you. I truly envy people who grow up having extended family members whom they love nearby. I never speak to my cousins. by the time I was born I had only two living grandparents. Grandfather who lived across the street from us died when I was six and grandmother who lived three hours away died right after I turned 15. <P>Cherish your memories. Hold her dear. And as long as she lives within your heart, she lives.<P>((((((((((((((((Mitzi and all three boys)))))))))))))))))

((((((((((Mitzi and family))))))))))<P>What a lady your grandma must have been! May your memories give you comfort.<P>Thinking of you and your family in your time of sorrow,<P>Ragamuffin

Mitzi,<P>I am so glad you got to say goodbye - for your sake and hers...what an amazing life.<P>My thoughts and prayers are with you.<P>Lisa

Mitzi, I am so very sorry for your loss. I am glad you got to say goodbye to her. <P>Sounds like she was a wonderful woman, a real blessing. <P>{{{{Mitzi and family}}}}<P>

<B>Gina and Raskal</B><P>Thanks for the thoughts and prayers!<P>Ya know, she was an amazing woman. She raised all of her children plus helped raise some of her grandchildren. She became a widow when my grandfather died in 1973, and lost 3 of her children. She struggled with a lot of illnesses (strokes, broken hip, leg amputation, congestive heart failure, etc...) but always remained strong and positive. <P>I feel truly blessed to have been there when she left this world! <P>Love,<BR>Mitzi

Hi Mitzi,<P>I'm sorry for your loss.<P>How lucky you are to have had such a wonderful grandma in your life.<P>I can remember my nanna - as a wonderful person - but she died when I was about 12. I can still see her face, and remember her perfume. I wish I had had her for longer.<P>Keep all those wonderful memories close to your heart, they will comfort you.<P>{{{{{{{{{{Mitzi}}}}}}}}}}}}}}<P>Jo
