Sweet Mamaw
Lila Maurice Smith died this morning at 3am in Lufkin Texas with my father, my aunt, and myself at her side as she took her last breath. My Mamaw went quickly, with dignity, and without pain, thanks to the morphine that she as on. This is my first grandparent to lose, and I don't know if it's better or worse for her to have been such a huge part of my adult life. So grateful she got to see 9 of her great-grandbabies come into this world. Funeral will more than likely be Monday. Please pray for my family, especially my grandfather. He wants to be in heaven with her right now. Such assurance that she is dancing with our Lord and Savior right now!

We are praying for you and your family! Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help during this time. Losing a grandparent is so difficult! Maybe Nanny and Granny Liz were there to welcome her home last night! Love you.
Shannon, I have already spoken with your dad. I don't know which ones of y'all will be staying here at our house, but I am getting things straight around here for you now. I deleted your comment on my blog because it is public and I prefer for people who do not "know" me to not know exactly what city I live in nor what my last name is.
Also, I just mentioned this last week about how I cannot wait to see my grandmother again when I get to Heaven. Grandmothers are just so special. You will miss yours alot! I am thinking of you all and praying for you at this time.

Shannon, I am praying for your family right now. I am so sorry, but sooo thankful that she didn't have to suffer. XOXOX
Shannon, sorry to hear about your Grandmother. It sounds like she lived a full life and what a praise that she is now in Heaven. We are praying for you.
What a precious moment to get to be with your Mamaw. It makes me cry to think about. It is such an incredible blessing to have had her in your life for so long (I know this, because I have them too!) I am so sorry for your loss. No matter the age, it isn't easy. Praying for your family.
