Amy's Memories of Grandma Isabel

Submitted by Amy A.

People say when someone dies you eventually forget their voice.  However, 
during the funeral of grandma Isabel I heard her voice and laughter through the windchimes and the wind delicately blowing
through the leaves nearby.  When the wind and chimes picked up during the ceremony we all knew it was her watching from above laughing away the clouds and storms that were supposed to plague that very day.  Everyone seemed to agree it was her way of not letting the weather rain out her last goodbye.  It was a beautiful day and a simple, but lovely funeral.  The priest said a few words.  We listened to one of grandma's favorite psalms from the bible called psalm 23.  The passage summed up to mean 'It will all work out if you believe in God and follow in his steps.'  So I will remember most about grandma is that she always said 'It will all work out'  because she said it often.  Then from there, my mom said that to me, and I have already started saying it to my friends.  So grandma's words will live on and pass though all of us.  She will be with me and everyone's lives she has touched forever.

Peace, Love, and Happiness
