My Grandmother

Dear Friends in Christ -

My grandmother, Audrey May Atherton Knight, passed away at home on Tuesday morning this week. My Grandma Audrey, my mother's mother, meant a great deal to me. She was a very faithful, lovely woman who had a deep appreciation for simple pleasures. Family was the most important thing to her, so being with us to - and through - the end was her fondest wish. My mother, Peggy, bravely saw her through her final difficult weeks. I'm so proud of my mom for having the strength and courage to tend her dying mother.

My grandmother is survived by her husband of 70 years, Charles; her sister, Leona; three children, eight grandchildren, and thirteen great-grandchildren.

I'll be travelling to her memorial service and burial. As I go, I want you to know how much I appreciate your prayers and care. Thank you for giving me this time to grieve and to discover anew the power of resurrection.

Faithfully yours,
Janet+
