She went to fly with the Angels today..

Olivia,
It is with mixed emotions that I tell you Great Grammy Mal passed away on Thursday afternoon at the Kaplan Hospice House in Danvers MA. We had just left from visiting with her and about 20 minutes later she passed. They say sometimes people wont leave thier loved ones, so they will wait to pass after you've left the room. It looks like Grammy Mal didn't want to leave you. Grammy and Great Aunt Nancy were with her, so she wasn't alone. I honestly can not thank you enough Miss Olivia for the joy you brought to everyones life during a difficult time. You made everyone including Great Grammy Mal and all the staff at the Hospice House smile throughout the hardest days. You were our little angel on earth god sent to make things a little bit easier. I'm sad that Great Grammy Mal was only here for 11 months of your life, but happy that she was here for 11 months of your life. Its a really strange feeling. In that short time we spent many days together just talking and learning patty cake and showing Great Grammy all the new tricks you had learned that week. She really looked forward to all your visits almost as much as we looked forward to seeing her! She was an amazing woman...there was something extra special about her. She thought the world of you. We will tell you stories about her as you get older but just remember how lucky you were to have gotten to spend special time with her. She always told Mommy "She is going to bring so much joy to everyone" and its true you do. Even as we grieve you continue to make us smile. Great Grammy Mal is now in heaven dancing with her Nick and watching down on us, protecting us, and smiling.
