Dear QB,
I am so sorry for your loss.
There is a bittersweet feeling of sadness of saying goodbye, mixed with happiness of being with family members who have not been together in years. Your parents' legacy of love shows...through you, and through all the family who came together to say goodbye.
Thinking of you,
Jane
What a beautiful post. I lost my mother in January, although still have my Dad, and our family did turn out in force --- it was wonderful to see everyone, but so sad that it took such an occasion to bring us all together.
A legacy of love -- it doesn't get better than that.

What a beautiful post and a loving tribute by children and grandchildren. This brought a tear to my eye. My parents are 90 and we treasure every day we have with them.
Blessings.
What a lovely tribute to your dear grandparents. May they rest in the arms of the angels.
Thanks for sharing a beautiful tribute during this difficult time. Your grandparents lived the life we all wish for - long and happy and only separated for a few days. I hope we can be as lucky.
Hoping your memories bring you comfort,
Leah
