Early Sunday morning we received a call that Wes's great grandmother had passed away. She has been in the nursing home for about seven years and lived on her own til she went there. She was a 102 when she died. This is just so amazing to me to see a person live such a long life and be so healthy. It was just the past year or so that she got really bad. She had two strokes over the past couple of months. She was a very sweet lady and will be sadly missed. Please keep the Tollison family in your prayers. I wanted to share this poem that they had in the pamphlet at the funeral home. It just really makes you think and appreciate the people around you and cherish the time you have with them.
God saw she was getting tired,
and a cure was not to be;
So he put His arms around her,
and whispered, "Come with me."
With tearful eyes we watched her suffer,
and saw her fade away;
Although we loved her dearly,
we could not make her stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
hard working hands to rest,
God broke our heats to prove to us,
He only takes the Best!
I love you all!
