That's exactly what I like to picture when I think of Heaven. I like to think that when you enter those pearly gates, you get a big hug from Jesus.As some of you may already know, my sweet Grandma Bonnie went to go be with the Lord yesterday afternoon. So this picture makes me happy. I know that when she got to Heaven, Jesus opened up those welcoming arms and said, "Welcome Home, my sweet child!" She went peacefully and had several people praying over her as she drew her last few breaths. This is not a sad time, my friends. This is a joyful time! She now gets to walk hand-in-hand with her sweet beloved, my Grandpa Cecil, and will get to play with my big sister, Ashley, whom she hasn't seen in over 20 years since she passed away. The reason we get to celebrate is because she lived a long and wonderful life. These past few years were sad as she was failing in her health and hated living in a nursing home. But the real reason to celebrate is because we KNOW she's in Heaven. We know she's in paradise with our Lord and Savior! Praise Him for that!
Her funeral is on Monday in Tulsa, OK, so that is where I'll be this weekend, with my family.
During this time, please remember to pray for my family. Although we are rejoicing that she is with Jesus, it's still sad for us to be without her now. Thank you for your prayers. I love you all so very dearly!


My prayers are definitely with you, Abbsbud. So glad she went peacefully. Love you ALWAYS.
