'Till We Meet Again

Donny's grandma, Dorothy Edwards Milligan, died today-
ON HER 96th BIRTHDAY!
We were on our way to go visit her-
to take her a doughnut and sing to her,
like we do every Sunday,
and we got a phone call on Donny's cell
from Scott Monson (the owner of Williamsburg Retirement Center)
saying she had just passed away.
We still went in and sang to her and held her hand.
We felt so much love in the room-
the Holy Ghost comforted us and filled us with gratitude
for having been able to spend her last 2 years with her.

 These are some pictures of us at one of our last visits with her.
She held onto Hunter for quite a while, hugging him.
She sure loves him and feels something special for him.
She told us she would watch over him as his angel.
She was so prepared to go back home to her Heavenly Father.
She was full of love and had truly submitted her will to His.
She ended her days in peace and contentment.
We know her spirit still lives and is REJOICING to be with her husband again.
Donny put a picture of her husband by her pillow and we sang to her-
God Be With You Till We Meet Again!
And we know we will meet again because of Jesus Christ and the hope of Resurrection.

Thank you Military

Donny's brother, Reed, is currently serving our nation in Afganistan.

Our kids learned some songs of gratitude for those who are fighting for our country.
We love America and we love uncle Reed and everyone else in the service.
