She's gone : ( [More:] My grandmother passed away this morning. After I made that last post, I got an email from my brother saying that she had a heart attack this week, and that they discovered bladder cancer. So we knew it was imminent.

90 years is a good run, but we're all gonna miss her.
Yes, 90 years is a good run. I'm so sorry, Doohickie.

I'm sorry Doohickie. At least you got to see her and say 'goodnight' before she passed. My condolences to you and your family.

I'm sorry Doohickie. If I go at 90 and there's still someone around who cares that I've gone, I'd see that as successful life.

I'll hoist a glass for 90 years well lived. 'bout all you can do, really.

So sorry to hear, Doohickie. Condolences to you and your family. My adopted mom's 93 and it's not enough.

Aw, so sorry Doohickie. My grandma lived to be almost 101. And even then it's sad. She died about 3 months before my son was born and I'm sad she didn't get to meet him. But we had a lot of happy years together.

My condolences to your family.

I'm sorry Doohickie, but I'm glad you had a chance to see her one last time.

I decided to fly up for the funeral. The yin and yang of my mind were conflicted most of the day- I thought of all the stuff that's going on at work and the cost of the plane tickets versus... my Gram.

Gram won.

I fly out tomorrow (Sunday) and return Tuesday after the funeral.

I'm sorry to hear of this, Doohickie. Ninety is a great age (my grandfather passed at 91) but no matter the age, we still miss them.

I gave myself a headache yelling this morning. || So, like, it's been 10 years
