The unthinkable happened. Grandma Myers is gone. She is in heaven with so many others who have been waiting for her and love her. She will be missed. She must be celebrated. I can say that she was amazing, beautiful, gracious, funny, incredible, but all of these words seem so dull, so dim, so flat, so unable to actually describe such an indescribable woman. My cousin and I counted how many people are products of the union between Ione and Bill Myers. We counted 40 people including children, spouses, fiancés, grandchildren, and great children. That is 40 people whose lives have been touched, taught, or created because of Ione and Bill’s love for each other. What a legacy! Cael asked me if there was a door you can walk through to get to heaven, or does the doctor give you a shot to send you there. I am certain there are no shots involved, and I am not sure any doors. But what I do know is that Jesus has prepared a room for just for her. I know she is happy, healthy, and for sure she is laughing. I know she is celebrating. So, now, there are 40 of us who can carry on like she taught us. Carry on with love in our hearts, love for our family, and love for our God. Let the legacy continue!
"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.” John 14: 1-3

I am so sorry for your loss Melissa. She sounds like such an amazing person. Just think of how much that simple number of 40 will turn into as the years pass.
{{hugs}} I too am sorry to hear this. She is a life to be celebrated and a life to share!
