During our vacation we had been in contact with Matt family about Matt's grandma. Her health had been declining and it seemed she might pass away during the week. She did indeed go home to be with Jesus that week. Our kids and the other great grand kids know her as Gigi. I have been a part of the Hardy family for almost 9 years now and Gigi was a sweet sweet lady! Full of life, loved to learn and have fun. I always remember her doing a crossword puzzle at the kitchen table, or reading the paper or playing a game with us kids. We were able to celebrate her life together as a family knowing she is now in her true home, heaven. Several months ago, Matt's sister initiated a conversation with Gigi which led to her placing her trust in Jesus and what he He did for her on the cross! Her passing opened up many conversations with Ava who had lots of questions about death and where Gigi was. The other day Ava and I were reading her Bible before bed and we were talking for some reason about how we aren't able to see Jesus physically right now. She then looked at me and said, "But Gigi is seeing Him now." I love child-like faith! It ministers to me and my heart.
