[Glares]

Though I find no sadness in death, I am sorry to hear of your loss. Remember that it is not the end of the journey that defines us but what we did during the journey and how we did it that preceeds us. To have such love come from a person means your Grandma was indeed a wonderful person in her journey. I hope you have learned much from her and keep the memories of happiness close to your heart. May fate and the three sisters have a kinder hand in your journey.

-Christoph

[stacesanchez]

I started crying when I saw this, thanks alot. God Bless you.

[astrajaseuk]

I have recently lost my Grandma, just 6 days ago. I found such comfort in your words. You clearly had such a special bond with with your Grandma as did I with mine. I believe that bond can never be broken even when a loved one passes away. Such a beautiful collection of pictures. God bless you and take care of you.

[stacesanchez]

ASTRAJASEUK--Sweetie, I am so sorry to hear about your Grandma. Whenever someone tells me of a loved one that passed, I can so remember the feeling and the pain in my heart. I'll pray for you and your Grandma. I'll ask my 3 angels to show her around. God Bless You.

[astrajaseuk]

STACESANCHEZ - Thankyou for your kind words, sorry it has taken me 5 months to get back to you. Hope you and your family are well and that the pain of your loss is lessening. I going to have another look at your video now. Take care. God Bless you.

Stace,

May God take care of you all the days of your life. I'm so sorry for your loss, but God has a road for all of us to travel. I wish I could give you the poem that I wrote on this, but it's more than 500 letters long. Please take care, and as the end of my poem goes:

I know that you will rest happy for eternity. ... just like me."

[xxInBetweenDarkxx]

May God always keep you safe now and forever.

[clarey93]

[stacesanchez]

marcpalahi--thanks for the compliment and i'm sorry your father passed away. he's in your heart and soul every single day, my friend. i know you can't wait to see him again...but it'll happen. i believe that. god bless.

[thahn34]

i really enjoyed this video..it inspires me to see someone be dealt with fall after fall and still look to God and thank him daily for what he has so graciously blessed us with and to make the most of our short lives on this earth...I am a 14 year old boy and my grandpa passed away a few years ago and seeing this has made an impact.Thank you.

[stacesanchez]

THAHN34--You are such a well-spoken 14 year old, my friend. I'm sorry to hear about your Grandpa and sorry you didn't get to enjoy his as long as I did my Grandma. But you're right...regardless--we were both truly blessed. God Bless You.

[itachilove]

SO SADDDDD!!! I wish you happiness!

[stacesanchez]

ITACHILOVE--thank you for the well wishes. God Bless.  -

[stacesanchez]

HALFXHEARTS--thanks for stopping in and commenting.  God Bless.

[alice665]

this video made me cry i ferl sorry for u  stace....may god bless you

[stacesanchez]

Alice665 - Thank you so much for stopping in and sharing a piece of my heart with me. God bless you! Now go hug someone that you love more than life itself...and tell them that you love them. I'd give anything to do that to my Grandma. Take care...stace

[SweetBlueberry06]

Stace, Im so sorry about everything that happened to you and your family. I never knew my grandparents on either side. I lost my mother when I was only 12yrs old. My Dad has emphysema & lung cancer. My husband and I take care of him. Believe me sweetie I know how you feel. You did a great job making this video. Stay strong and I know that your loved ones are proud of you. Someday all of us will be together with our families again in GOD's house. God Bless you Stace and stay strong.

[risswillis]

That was a beautiful video. The absence of familiar faces is a heavy burden to bear. I miss my Dad, and my many friends I haven't seen for a long time. God, how it makes time draw out like a blade. And the shot of Jesus walking away into the light - how poignant! Because in the same way I miss my Dad and my long absent friends, I miss Him. To live is certainly Christ, and to die is certainly gain. The love of the rest of the body of Christ to you, Stace. We're all in this thing together.

[stacesanchez]

Thank you such much for your kind words. One of these days, you and I are going to be lucky enough to be called to be with the Lord. Until then, enjoy every day of life...and cherish the memories you have of your father and friends until then. God Bless...stace

[LordMikadani]

She still loves you.

[RainbowDoughnut]

I feel for you

[rwk360]

If you're an athiest, I'm afraid that there is no hope for you. Any of your family members that already passed and were not saved by Jesus Christ are lost forever. If you don't believe in God/Jesus and you don't pray to recieve him as your Lord and Savior, you will go to hell and burn forever and ever. The Bible says so. Jesus Himself said so. He went to the cross to pay for OUR sins. You have to make the choice to accept Him or reject Him.

[Oualos]

Very sad video - reminds me of my own grandma who died just over 2 years ago and I still can't get over it.

Personally I am an atheist as is most of my family - but I can understand just the way you feel. May you find the strength inside you to get through this :)

[actor1]

May the Lord bless you and your family. I wish you all the best.

[jjbellinger]

this is sad

[nettoro]

I wanted to watch some talk talk music videos and came across your video by accident. I was touched, you actually pulled tears out my eyes. I heard that death is like another birth, as sad as it is, it is also a huge part of life and to some a blessing. I'm sure your grandma would love to see you all happy everytime you think of her. Blessings to all of you.

[fdovi]

here is a poem i would like to share with you, again God Bless you!

*God saw you were getting tired and a cure was not to be, so He put His arms

*around you and whispered, "Come to Me." With tearful eyes we watched you,

*and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make

*you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. God

*broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.

[fdovi]

I came across your video by mistake, but i was touched by the writing attached. I was tempted to watch the movie. It was very upsetting, i can only image how you feel. God bless you and your family, and peace be with you.

[terrabay]

Lord prepare me...to be a sanctuary...beautiful. God is faithful.

[stacesanchez]

It's a beautiful, BEAUTIFUL song, isn't it? Thanks so much for taking the time to stop in and comment. God Bless you and yours.

[dunnoson]

May the Lord watch over you and stand by you every step of the way. Just remember, she is watching over you now, and she is in a place now where pain does not eximore. We all should take a moment of silence every day and pray for our family.

[stacesanchez]

Thank you very much for stopping in and taking the time to comment. God Bless you and your loved ones.

[munaim]

I really started crying when I was reading what you wrote. I hope you have strength and that your family is happy.

[stacesanchez]

Munaim, thank you so much for your kind words and well-wishes....on behalf of the family, I appreciate it. God Bless....Stace
