As long as I can remember, I have prayed that my Great-Grandma Coffey would reach the ripe old age 100.  She was always lively, so it was never impossible in my head or in my heart.

 

 
My Great-Grandma Ethel (or Grandma as we called her) was born in June 1910.  Just 2 years before the Titanic sank... crazy?  I know.  My Grandma had an AMAZING heart and loved the Lord with all her being!  She brought up her children in the way of The Lord and so the legacy has been passed down.
She never worried a day in her life and therefore lived a pretty healthy one.  Several years back, she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease which was hard to deal with but she still had a ton of life ahead of her.
Today, Grandma went to be with the Lord.  (Just a day before my 25th birthday)  But God has given me a peace that surpasses all understanding.  I know that because she left such an AMAZING legacy, I will see her face-to face again and I will also be face-to-face with our wonderful Savior! 
 
Great-Grandma Ethel Coffey, you will be missed!
