My dad just called to let me know that my Grandmother, Mary Noffsinger, has gone to be with the Lord. There is probably nobody that I have looked up to more in my life. It has been hard to see her struggling with Alzheimer's the past decade. She had just been moved to a resthome in Madisonville. In a lot of ways it seems like she passed away a long time ago. The last time I remember her recognizing me and saying my name was six years ago. Seeing her in the condition she has been in has been hard.
Grandmother was the first person I saw having a daily devotional, and her faith inspired me. She was also a naturally gifted musician. I like to think that I am carrying on her legacy with my music. Her life was one of worship, and now she is finally with Him. I hope I can do her proud with the time I have left here.
