Our son Robert was always going to Great Grandma's as she usually had a treat for him and truly loved him. Robert was the one that found her laying on the floor the day she died.He came running to us saying that Grandma had fallen and couldn't get up.We went to her and made her comfortable until the ambulance arrived.She was wanting to see Robert and the ambulance people said it would be okay.Grandma reached up and touched his face and smiled,she passed away in the emergency room of Hemet Valley Hospital in Hemet, California. This tiny lady loved her family very much and we all miss her. ****************************************** |
