Grandma Edighoffer


Part of our family's journey now includes the death of our dear Grandma/Great Grandma. Vendla Jean Edighoffer went home to be with Jesus at 3:30 this morning.

She had been recently diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure and we were concerned that her lungs would fill with fluid before her heart would give way but God was merciful and quieted her heart first.

Grandma was still upset about not having enough energy to sew doll clothes for her great-granddaughters just hours before she passed away...that's our grandma...always giving to others.

We were thankful for the opportunity to go and be with her last evening although she was not happy about her lack of energy and inability to have a "good conversation". Nurses who took care of her the night before were stopping in to check on the "sweet old lady" who had endeared herself to them so unknowingly.

That's our Grandma....we will certainly miss her.
