While I am sad at the passing of Gamma McKinney, there's also a large sense of relief. I'd not seen her for years, but whenever Mommy came back and told me that Gamma couldn't even remember who she was, It made my stomach feel weak. I often thought to myself that it was barely a step away from how Grampa was when he died - just a body without anything but the traces of the soul in it. Moreover, I was never sure if she was a step better, or a step worse, only that she was getting worse every day. I'm glad that she's out of that situation, and hope that she has been received into a state of rest. it's almost a relief to know that, in a year, her work can be done.
