Goodbye Grandma





Today, my Grandmother Fitzpatrick has returned to our Heavenly Father. She would of been 90 years old this June. She has spent the past 7 months in very poor health and living in either a nursing home or an assisted living. Over the past few weeks she was placed on hospice and taken off any life sustaining medication. She passed this morning at 7:15am, my dad, mom and aunt had the opportunity to be with her as her spirit left her body.
It was 6 years ago that my dad felt the need to move her to Utah, after she had lived in Colorado her entire life. My dad had a great patio house built for her. My parents diligently took care of her and for that I look up to them.
She will be laid to rest on Saturday in Colorado, next to my grandfather who passed 24 years ago.
I am very grateful for my faith and am comforted that she will be in a much better place.
Goodbye and love you Grandma...until we meet again.

What a sweet tribute to your grandma. It is comforting to know of the peace she will have. Are you headed to CO? Let me know if there is anything I can do for you!
