saying good bye to grandma grace

Jenny had to move her scheduled treatment to today, instead of going in Friday, as originally scheduled, due to my Grandmother Grace passing away this week. So, we are traveling this weekend to Birmingham Alabama. Grandma was a remarkable woman of 98 1/2 years of age. Up until very recently she was living in her house, driving her car, and "taking care of the elderly" in her church family. I had the opportunity to visit her a couple of times over the last year and she told me each time that I would come to see her and we would go out to dinner together - "Raymond", she would say with a very southern/Italian accent, "I am not sure why the good Lord still has me on this earth, but if it is only to pray for my children, grand children, and great grandchildren every day, then that's enough for me." Our conversations would range from college football, to the direction interest rates were headed, to the latest speech that the president had given, to sports center... 
It was certainly an opportunity to experience God's grace with I saw the legacy of a family history of life centered around a church family, and an undivided trust in the Lord's willingness to hear  and answer our prayers.
Please pray for us as we travel to Alabama tomorrow, a day after Jenny's treatment, that she would be able to travel comfortably and feel strong enough to manage the requirements of the services on Friday.
