Appreciation Thread for my departed grandmother - Jane Hruskoci - 26Nov1922 - 02Aug2017

My family has lost our matriarch this evening to pneumonia and old age. She was 96 years old and has been fading away from us with dementia for the last 5 years plus. It is still hard to deal with the finality and the arrangements and loss.

She was a fantastic grandmother in my childhood and I have a ton of fantastic memories to cherish for the rest of my days. Just a silent thought and remembrance for Grandma...I will always love you and remember fondly the lessons and time you spent with me.

Pass swiftly and rest soundly knowing that your family carries on in your memory, today and for all the days to come after.

We're never more alive than when we are among or with family and despite the reason tonight, we are drawing solace from each other and holding each other up...it's hardest for my father as he becomes the family elder and last of his immediate family still with us. I appreciate anyone and everyone from DU that responds or even just silently sends thoughts, prayers or positive vibes to us in our time of remembering grandma and moving on together afterward.

May everyone reading be blessed with time with their family and loved ones as long as possible.
