The pain that I felt from her death I know time will never be able to heal, but with prays and our great family and friends we will learn to cope. In seeing my daughter Elyn's reaction, I realize how selfish my pain is. Elyn, who is only 8 years old, was the one fluttering around the wake, with her dark curly hair, wearing a white dress with sandals she wanted to wear to celebrate Grandma's going home party. Elyn visited her Grandma often, she visited her the day before she died, never once was Elyn afraid to jump on Grandma bed, give her a big hug and kiss, and sit with her for awhile, to play some cards together. Elyn could not figure out why anyone would be crying, Grandma was able to go home like she wanted, where she felt no more pain, and had all the chocolate she wanted; Grandma even had a Hershey Bar for her trip to heaven. Elyn prayers to her new angel every night, to tell her how her day was, and if Grandma could find out where the video game cloud is in heaven. See you later Grandma. WITH ALL OUR LOVE, Kathleen, David, Kyle, Erin, and Elyn Gullotto.

P.S. Thank you for David, a great husband, and father, who you gave birth to, and raised, and then your son gave me the three greatest children God put on this earth. I Love You, Good Bye for now. Love from here to eternity Kathleen.

She may have been in a lot of pain recently, but she is at peace now. My grandmother has gone to a better place, and that's the most important thing to remember.
