An update on Lela's grandma...

I arrived at the hospital about 3-3 1/2 hours before the Lord took her home to be with Him. I was by her side, holding her hand and my dad was on the other side. All of her children made it in to say good-bye. She is not suffering anymore and is in a much better place.

She is at the McDonald Funeral Home in Howell, MI and her viewing is today (Friday) from 1-4 and 6-8 then again tomorrow from 12:30-1:30 with services at 1:30. They are flying her to AK for buriel and her kids and sister are the only ones going for that.

She was the one I was named after...Lela Markcum...she was a great grandma. I spent a lot of time with her growing up and we were very close till the end. I was her first grand-daughter and the only one who lived in the same town as her until Oct. of this year. We had a great good-bye party at her house the first part of Oct. and that is a great memory.

Thank you for your prayers. They really mean a lot to me. Please remember my dad, he was her first-born and was VERY close to his mother. It hurts to see him hurting on top of my own hurt.

Blessings,
Lela and boyz~
