Aunt Elsie Lovelace joins her family

This morning, July 29, 2010, at 4:30 am, Aunt Elsie Rushton Turpin Lovelace passed away. I don't think I have seen such a nurturer and gatherer as Aunt Elsie. She loved without reservation and served her family without exception.

Of course we are sad, because we will miss her. We can be assured that she is happy now with her husband(s), parents, siblings and other friends. We will miss her giggle, her prodigious memory and her bowling skills!

We are really excited to get together with everyone!  We know that Hailey will be in England (boohoo)!:) and that Hannah & Craig will be too close to d-day to come.  We will miss all of you, but totally understand.  If there is anyone else that won't be able to make it, please let us know.

I couldn't help but change the background of the blog to a pink color. Pink will forever remind me of Grammy. I especially miss her at this time right now. I'm sure a lot of us do. Here is a poem that Hospice sent my Mom that I think puts beautifully into words how Grammy may be thinking right now, and it also gives me comfort.


Christmas in Heaven
I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below,
With tiny lights like heaven's stars, reflecting on the snow.
The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away the tears,
For I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear.
But the sounds of the music can't compare with the choir up here,
I have no words to tell you the joy their voices bring
For it is beyond description to hear the angels sing.

I know how much you miss me, I see the pain inside your heart,
But I am not so far away, we really aren't apart.
So be happy for me dear ones, you know I hold you dear,
And be glad I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

I sent you each a sepcial gift from my Heavenly home above
I sent you each a memory of my undying love.
After all, love is a gift more precious than pure gold,
It was always most important in the stories Jesus told.
