God called his child home...

We lost my grandmother, Elviere Schoonbaert, Christmas night. She was in the hospital with stomach cancer for about 2 1/2 weeks. We knew about the cancer for about a month and a half. I believe she knew about it longer, but because of the woman she was, she kept it to herself.
She was born Dec 10, 1926 and passed away Dec 25, 2006, at the age of 80.

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along

the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.

For each scene he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, one

belonged to him, and the other to the Lord.

When the last scene of his life flashed before hime, he looked back

at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the

path of his life, there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed

that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.

This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it.

"Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me

all the way. But I noticed that during the most troublesome times

in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why

when I needed you most, you would leave me."

The Lord replied, "My child, I love you and would never leave

you. During your times of trials and sufferings, when you see

only one set of footprints, it was when I carried you."

You are forever loved Grandma, and will always be missed.
