The passing of a great lady


Dora Turley, grandmother of Richard passed away yesterday. I am really quite happy for her, she was 102 years old. She certainly lived a full life. She will be reunited with her husband, parents, children & many others. One thing that really stood out to me about this great lady is her positive attitude. She always wanted to contribute and looked for the best in everything. She was not a complainer and that is unusual for older people. Our boys called her Grandma Great and that pretty much sums it all up. We will be attending her funeral in Joseph City on Saturday.

I so loved this great lady. She was one of my Grandmother's best friends.
I can just imagine that wonderful reunion!
I can only hope they can be as proud of us as we are of them.

Wow! What a privilege to live on earth for so long! Hope all goes well the next few days. We'll be thinking of you all.

That is a long time to be alive. The stories she could tell....! It must still feel like a loss for everyone though. Can you ever really get enough of someone you love?
