On April 4, 2008 our Grandma Poma went to be with Jesus. This is a picture of her surrounded by her Grandchldren, children, and Husband at Chritmas 2007. She is in the front row in the red shirt with black sweater. She was loved by everyone who knew her. She had been sick for a while. She had, had surgery to fix an anyurism before and had several more. She went into the hospital on Sunday March 30 to find that she had an anyurism that was bleeding. It was this anyurism that led to her death. We were able to share many wonderful moments with her in her last days. She will be missed so much by all of us. I am so glad that she got the chance to meet Emma and Meilynn. Kami and Meghan had many wonderful years with her and I am so happy that they will be able to share these memories with their little sisters. I met her when I was 16 and started dating her son. I knew her 34 years. She always treated me with love, respect, and kindness. I was her only daughter-in-law. She will be missed so much but we know that she has found her home with Jesus.
She is Gone
You can shed tears that she is gone or you can smile because she has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back or you can open your eyes and see all she's left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see her or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember her and only that she's gone or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back or you can do what she'd want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

This is a picture of Grandma Poma the day she met Emma Sophia Mingjing.
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?"John 11:25-26
