Mark R HambyHi Grandma! I don't know why I am writing you this message. It might be an odd thing to do, considering the fact that this is the Condolences section of your 4+ year old obituary and because I see you and talk to you practically every day, but I am doing it none the less. Maybe it is because I had not visited this website other than just after your energy transformed and when I happened to visit it today, I noticed the view counter feature. Regardless, I just want to let you know, that due to what is happening right now in the world (not disregarding the exponential growth of turmoil and strife amoungst the vast majority of this nation and the globe since your metamorphosis) , you are helping make the world safer by being exactly where you are right now vs. at home in your previous energy state. And as you know, I have been working hard at developing many skill sets, mindfulness, and good personal habits as well as solidifying my foundation , as you know. I aim to do my best to help and support our family, friends, and neighbors. All those I have had contact with or received information about are well, all things considered. Also, I want to thank you again for all of the lessons you taught, and continue to teach me and for all the love you gave to me and everyone else in and out of the family (I still feel it every day!). I love you with all my heart Grandma! Your immeasurable impact is felt by many. And while, yes, I have lamented on occasion about how some days end, it is largely because of you (& your children, of course!) that I most always look forward to the potential opportunities of the day that will follow. Thank you for that! Bye for now! <3 MRH
