End of an era

Well, it had to happen at some point. Claire's grandmother (94) has died. She is the last of that generation, and follows my grandmother (96) and Claire's paternal grandfather (94) last year, Great Uncle Paul (92) the year before and my 101 year old Uncle.
The Funeral is next week (Tues) and suprisingly, the girls both want to come. We will see nearer the time....
At the end, it was quick and peaceful. She had suffered a series of heart attacks and having being admitted to hospital 10 days ago, they said she wouldn't be coming home...
She loved watching the sun rise and on the day of her death, it was a beautiful sunrise and she commented to the nurses on how nice it was. She went back to sleep and didn't wake up.
Naomi's comment was that the sunrise was God telling her he was coming to take her home.
Sounds good to me.
