Lent continues... and my Grandmother passes...
On 031506 at approximately 0515 hours Emilia Catarina passed from this life into the next. Two of her four daughters were present with her, holding each of her hands. Grandma's funeral was held on St. Patrick's Day...
My Grandmother used to always sing, and always pray... and so at her funeral i sang prayers over her... The Lord's Prayer... and Ave Maria.
Emilia had such intense spirit about her. It is seen in every memory of every person who crossed her path. She was the Mother of our family... bearing six children, who bore fourteen grandchildren, who are now bearing great-grandchildren... (i believe the count is seven so far...)
Grandma... i don't know if there are any horse race tracks in Heaven... but if there are, i have no doubt that you have already found yourself a front row seat and have begun taking bets!
Here's to you Grandma!

You've been in my prayers. Hope everything is going well. Talk to you when you get back
My heartfelt condolences, old friend, for your loss.
If you need anything, you know how to get ahold of me.
