101?

A fine age, may she rest in peace.

My Condolences McBeck

I can describe my Grandmother with one word. LOVE.

From the time I was 2 she was the mother I never had.

Sorry for your loss.People such as her are a treasure as they can give first hand accounts of the changes seen in our world, esp those who have lived in the last 100 years.My great grandmother is 92(mothers side) and my grandfather(fathers side) will be 93 on August 10th.I have always been thankful to have them around.Unfortunately life is a journey that does have an end but take solace in the fact she lived a long, happy life, may she rest in peace.

My condolences. Wow 101.

Sorry to hear that McBeck,:cry: obviously she had a good long life, lived through 2 world wars as well as the sixties!!:yep:

Wow that's a long life, I always enjoy hearing about people who've lived to 100 or older. Sorry for your loss McBeck, this world lost one of its treasures.

Sorry to learn of your sad loss sir.

~SALUTE~

The ancient Egyptians believed that if you speak the name of the dead, they live again.

I hope you will speak often of the good that your Grandmother gave to you and others.

Ray Orbison had a good rendition of "Remember the good times"

"Yes, I suppose at times I think about her
She was once so much apart of me
Heaven knows I've learned to
live without her

And hell, it was, at times
It was a painful memory
But for all it matters now, If it does
For all that tried to be, but never was
For all the times I've tried,
I wouldn't change it if I could
For all she meant to me, I'll remember the good
I'll forget the bad

All the good times we've had
won't make me quite so sad
When I'm remembering
And for all the times I've tried,
I wouldn't change it if I could

For all she meant to me, I'll remember the good

For all she meant to me, I'll remember the good."

I hope this helps a little.

That's some strong genes, my Grandma died about 8 years ago at 103. I'm sure you know the amazing stories they can tell. Someone that lives that long really saw the history.

May you be at peace.

My sons great grandmother on his mothers side is 103 this year in Oct and still lives on her own in Auckland New Zealand (granddad died 15-16yrs ago) she wont let family take care of her she doesn't need it really, only thing wrong with her is she is partly deaf now. Shes a tough old Jewish woman that gave up smoking in her late 60's.


Back on topic: My condolences McBeck

1910-2011. That's an impressive span. A century with a one year victory lap.

My condolences, McBeck.

Thanks for all the kind words. She will most likely be burried Thursday.

I did not see this earlier.

My condolences, McBeck.

Sad news indeed Jonathan. My condolences to you and your family.

Remember her as she lived.:salute:
