Bryan's Grandmother passes away

After almost three weeks of hospital stay due to declining lung and heart capacity Bryan's Grandmother, Beverly Rowland 79yrs. passed away this morning at about 8:00am.
Beverly had suffered with poor health for several years but it wasn't until about the past year that things got much worse.  She required supplemental oxygen for the past year or so and ended up in the hospital about 3 weeks ago when she wasn't able to keep her oxygen levels up even with the portable supplemental oxygen. We visited her at her hospital bedside a week and a half ago when we received word from Bryan's dad that she was most likely not going to make it much longer. When we arrived she knew who we were but was not able or did not have the strength to carry on any conversation past that.  It was horrible to see how she had deteriorated and was clearly not comfortable.  We know that she is in a better place now.
Beverly was a strong personality and loved acting.  During her lifetime she played many roles and played various characters in church films.  She was a mother of 5, had 15 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren. She will be missed.

I'm so sorry for your loss. My Grandma is in a similar situation in Bosie. It is so hard to see loved ones suffer. I guess that is only ease in letting them go.
