Nannie

Today, Leslie's grandmother, Nannie, passed away. Her health has been failing over the past few years and she has been back and forth between the hospital and nursing home in the past several weeks. I was supposed to be headed out of town on a trip for work when I go the call that the hospice nurse had called to say she had just a few hours left.

Leslie and I both went to the nursing home and spent the last few hours of Nannie's life with her and the family. We talked to her, sang to her, and prayed with her. We are thankful that her faith was in Christ and that she is now at peace. I am so thankful for God's providential timing in that I was able to be in town when this happened.

It's been a hard day, of course. Leslie was very close to Nannie. We've hurt as we've seen her suffer lately, and as we've watch Poppie and Leslie's parents lovingly care for Nannie. So we are hurting but also relieved that Nannie is at peace in the presence of her Lord.

The funeral is set for Thursday at 11:00 AM at First Baptist Church, Gainesville, in the chapel. Visitation will be Tuesday from 5-7 and Wednesday from 7-9 at Memorial Park Funeral Home in Gainesville, GA.
