It will be hard on her family and friends for a long while, it always is when one loses the matriach of a family and one that was so obviously loved and respected by all. When I lost my grandmother who raised me, it was left a huge hole in my heart and sent ripples throughout our very large, extended family who all loved her dearly. In the end though, much as with this lovely woman you wrote about, it was a life well and truly lived and a good number of years given. Draw near her family, share your good memories of her, give hugs and solace for those tears that honor her memory, share a smile over something wonderful she said or did....that's really all one can do in these situations. It's a beautiful legacy from her that she left so many that cared about her and were touched by her life. Not many in this life will be so blessed to leave this circle of love when they go.
