April’s grandmother passed away over the weekend, so we are on our way to Fenton, Missouri (near St. Louis) for the visitation and funeral. We will be back tomorrow (Wednesday) evening.
I don’t really know April’s grandparents that well, and of the two sides, I know her mother’s less. Flossie was already afflicted by alzheimers when I met her, and though she was able to attend our wedding, she and I never conversed.
The general sense I have gotten from April’s family is that her passing is something of a blessing. She lived a long and happy life with lots of children and grandchildren, and the suffering caused by her disease is at an end. She is with Jesus now, and we would all agree that is a good thing.
