I just wanted to put this definition up for all of you to see, not because I think you don't know the meaning, but just as a little reminder.

This Sunday our Grandmother (or Mother) passed away from this world. One of her last wishes the previous night was, should she pass, that we were to say Hallelujah. And be happy that she had moved on. I know it seems a little funny and a little strange but I believe that she meant the word as only she could. As a praise to God, as a shout of gratitude for her new found freedom, and I don't believe the irony of the season in which she passed escaped her.

Some of us were closer to Grandma Miller than others were, however we all loved her and I am sure we all have fond memories of her. So during the next week as we all mourn her passing remember her the way she would want to be remembered. She was a diligent woman who loved her man. She took on the responsibilities of her positions in the church and in life with a zest and passion I myself am proud of. She always cared about all of her family, regardless if she agreed with their decisions or lifestyles. And she believed above all other things in the gospel of the church.

Her presence here will be missed. But I believe she has rejoined with her soul mate and is now happier than she has ever been. So I leave this eulogy in remembrance of her, and her life here on earth. And as she said herself....Hallelujah.

Just keep swimming...

OK people this is me at work which is all I seem to do lately. I know I haven't been in touch with you all lately and I am sorry. Life is busy and strange. I am back living at my house by Liberty Park. Life is basically good I have given up on relationships and resigned myself to being an old maid. I know a few of you think a lifestyle change is in order and I appreciate your concern for my well being I really do. I didn't get to choose my path and to walk another would be denying my true self. I don't expect everyone to understand but if I can't be true to myself than I am not being true to my maker and that is how I feel about it. I miss everyone horribly and I am actually excited for the holidays so I can see my family again. I hope you are all well. I have a temporary new phone number Dad has it if any of you want it. I won't post it online sorry. You can email me if you would like ann.munkee@gmail.com Love you all!!!
