I was 16 years old when my grandma died. She died of kidney failure, but my grandma had a loving heart and was always kind and loving and would do anything for anyone no matter what you were going through. She always put people first and put herself last. She was a good Christian lady. I love her and miss her so much.

I was 16 when my grandmother died of kidney failure. She died May 10, 2003. She took care of me while my mother worked. I returned the favor by helping to take care of her in her final days. When my mom told me, I cried because I was sad at first, but then I remembered she had her husband and two sons with her in heaven. Someday I will be, too.

Beautiful poem I was just thinkimg of my grandmother's passing, thought I would find a poem to read in memory of her. It has such similarities to the tribute I wrote to her. Still brings tears to my eyes.

On 21st January 2015 I received the devastating news that my beloved grandmother had passed away. I had called my mother on my break at work to find out how she was and what she was doing that day, when my uncle on my fathers side had answered the phone he said to me "Kayleigh are you home?" to which I replied "No I am at work, what's wrong?" the reply I got shocked me so much I was speechless, his words to me were "you need to get to your mothers as soon as possible she is not in a very good state of mind as your grandmother has passed away this morning". I rushed out of work as quickly as I possibly could as I just wanted to be with my mother and to comfort her, the tears were rushing down my face I felt as if I was having a bad dream and wanted to wake up as soon as possible. I never got to spend as much time with my grandmother as I'd like to but she will always be here with me, this poem is just beautiful and I have gotten inspiration from it for producing a poem for her funeral.

I was 8 when my nana passed away, I'm 14 now she would of been 63 this year, she was the best nana I could ever ask for, I always remember how she was the only person who I would let brush my hair because I thought she had magic fingers. She will always be my inspiration. I love you forever and always.
RIP Nana Jodie-9.9.08

I just lost my grandmother 4 days ago. She and my poppaw raised me and my brother for many many years. I feel like I have lost more than a grandmother. I have lost my mom, my best friend. She was known for ending her days by posting on Facebook, "sleep with the angels" She is no longer in pain, she is not only sleeping but singing and dancing with the angels as well! And I now get to sleep with the greatest angel of all, my grandma!

This is beautiful. I lost my amazing Nana over Christmas and I'm struggling with the thought of having to spend the rest of my life without her. She was always there for me and I was very close to her and have been all my life. I'm going to miss her so so much :(

My best friend lost her grandmother. She was also like my second grandmother so I was also hurt by her passing away. Tomorrow is her funeral and I will be reading this poem for my friend. This poem really touched me also and it also got me to let my tears flow. thank you

My gran died in 2010 on Mothers Day. It was a painful and she died of skin cancer. A lot of people ask how do you remember her and I always say, "I was born on her birthday, my older sister has her name." We celebrate my birthday in tears and this year I hope we can celebrate it differently. If you have someone special go to them and tell them how special they are!!

I lost my grandma in August, and at 21 years old, I was the only person there when she died, and the single only person to lay her ashes to rest. I will never forget those last moments, nor will I ever forget her. This poem hit right at home for me. Thank you for writing this. I'm wanting to get the first paragraph tattooed with the tattoo I'm working on to remember her by. Thank you!
