A THIEF IN THE NIGHT.....

We have had a crazy week. October 15th McClanes Grandma who we all knew as "Gram" decided to leave us here. It was a big shock! She was relatively healthy...and that morning around 11 am she called Clane's mom and said she was having chest pains. Julie rushed her to the Emergency Room...they did 4 EKGs and found nothing. They ran all sorts of blood work and found nothing wrong. The Dr. said he was releasing her. Julie told him that she didn't think it was a good idea because her Mother never complained about pain unless she trully was in pain. The Dr. said there was no reason to keep her. Gram asked to use the restroom before she got dressed and on her way back to the bed she collapsed and started convulting and they couldn't get her heart started again. This all happened by 1:30 pm...so fast! Its a typical Gram thing we all laugh now. If you were at a party one minute Gram was there the next she was gone. She wasn't much for goodbyes.....she was like a thief in the night! Although we miss Gram a ton...we know she is in a great place. We are grateful to have so many fond, fun memories of Gram! She will be missed by many. Things like this make me grateful for the Gospel to know she is in a better place! We LOVE YOU GRAM AND MISS YOU DEARLY!
