Amanda's grandmother passed away earlier this morning due to heart complications. Those of you who have been reading the blog for a while know of the struggle this woman endured over the past two years, from being in a virtual coma, to bouncing back against all physiological odds to live as normal of a life as she could for the past several months. She went into the hospital last Sunday night, after having what was thought to be mild congestive heart failure, and seemed okay. But, at around 3 or so this morning, her heart rate dropped, never to recover. I am sure more will be written about this wonderful lady in the next few days; I am sure Amanda will want to write a special blog about this special, strong, and feisty little lady!
We are off to her grandfather's right now. That is the difficult part; to be married for almost 62 years, and then have the one you love pass on. That, for me, is the most heartbreaking part of this whole tragedy. Needless to say, we will not be travelling down to NJ; rather, as I write this, the New Jerseyans are in transit to Maine, to see grandmom one last time, lay her rest, and be with family.
We'll talk soon. Please keep Amanda's family in your prayers

Very sorry to hear about your grandmother's passing, Amanda. I was looking at the pictures and thinking how wonderful it was that she got to hold her great-grandson while she was still here. All our best wishes to you.
