We laid my Grandma Bauer's body to rest today, though her soul will live forever with Jesus in eternity! My heart shouts with joy thinking of her meeting Jesus face to face. What a blessed day that will be indeed!
My grandpa died over twelve years ago now, the day before Heather and I were married. What a strange emotional time that was! I think now with grandma's passing, it causes me to reflect more on the lives they lived and the influence they both were in my life. What a privilege to have them as grandparents! They provided so many fun, enjoyable and memorable experiences for us, giving selflessly and generously.
As people passed through the visitation line, there were so many kinds words and thoughts of not only grandma, but grandpa as well. Being the bank President, nearly everyone in town knew him and he helped so many people out. Most stories, I'll never hear.
Grandma was born April 1, 1917 and died February 28, 2010. Nearly 93 years. She was a godly example to us. She read through the Bible every year for some thirty years. She knew it well and was ready to go home.
We'll miss her but we look forward to seeing her again.
