My husband's grandmother has died, peacefully, in Hospice, of old age at 99 1/2 years. She is survived by one sister (she is preceded in death by the middle sister), three children, eight grandchildren, eleven great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild. Everyone seems to be doing all right.

What a hard childhood she had. We take so much for granted here and forget what life was like not that long ago. She must have been an incredibly strong woman.

Would that we all will have such a quiet and peaceful departure of our choosing, with time to say goodbye to those we love and who love us, and that everyone involved can be at peace in the farewell.

Would that we indeed. My condolences to your family. Thanks for sharing her story with us.
