    She's in her last stages of luekemia. She fell a few days ago and she's going downhill

    quickly. She's 88. She has been a shining example of the JW faith for over 60 years...she

    REALLY practiced what she preached and I respect her for that even though my beliefs

    are so different. She's clinging on to the "new system" belief, and in a way, I am happy

    that she has that hope. She has been a foundation for me my whole life...always

    loved me unconditionally and never made me feel guilty. So here is a tribute

    to a beautiful lady.....my Grammy. XXXX

    You are right to respect her. People who believe whole heatedly and actually live it without hypocrisy are to be respected. She sounds like a wonderful Grammy and a fine lady. Thinking of you today.

    I just lost my grandmother last week - a witness to the end, but a damn fine woman as well

    I'm sure that she never thought she'd be 88 years old in this system of things. But at this point, it's best to let her have her "faith" and "hope" and to be convinced that she will wake up in Paradise.

    Sounds like both of you have been a "blessing" for the other for many years.

    My condolences to you Diana and to Wantarevolution.

    I agree with your sentiments, at that age TTATT would not be a kindness.
