    Unhappy My grandmothers passing

    Ladies and Gentleman,

    I've got some bad news that I'd like to share with you all since it's around the holidays and a simular incident happened in 2002 with my grandfather (my fathers father) when he passed away Dec. 22.

    My grandmother, Gwendolyn L. Williams (my mothers mother), passed away Dec. 14th, 2007 at 1:10 AM at Memorial Hospital in Johnstown, PA. She had just turned 89 years old. She was born Dec. 5, 1918 in Johnstown. She was admitted in the hospital at around 4:30 AM on Tuesday, Dec. 11. They had her hooked up to a breathing machine and had IV's in her arm. They pulled everything off of her that night at around 6:30 PM. She remained stable. They moved her to another floor Thursday, there she stayed until she passed away Friday morning.

    This is a difficult time for my family and I appreciate any and all condolences and sympathies that you people might have for me and my family.

    Thank you and God Bless!

    Sorry to hear that Wil. That'll make for a tough Christmas.

    89 years though, what a blessing.

    Life, including its conclusion, doesn't pay much attention to the time of year.

    My condolences. Hopefully, the family can use the holidays as a time to gather together and think fondly of those who have gone on before.

    My mom has a saying: Death is a part of life.
    I hope you will see her again one day.
