Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Thank you all for your prayers for Granny. I got a call last night that she passsed away yesterday afternoon. We were blessed to have been able to visit with her and say goodbye the day before.

I believe she had a happy death...her daughter told me that while another friend was visiting yesterday they noticed that her breathing had changed and thought that it was getting close to the end. She got her brother and they both sat on either side of her bed and prayed the Rosary. They prayed the entire Rosary and she took her last breath the minute they finished!! She died with her Scapular pinned to her nightgown. We could not have asked for more.

My 2 oldest dc have been asked to serve at her funeral Mass on Tuesday. Please pray for them as even though it is an honor, it will be hard for them.

Again I thank you so very much for your prayers for this wonderful wonderful lady. She has truly touched our lives in the short time we knew her. Her last words to my youngest were "will you remember me?" and I may not be able to help her remember her, but I will be honored to make sure she knows who she is!

Hollee,

What a beautiful death she had! God is so full of grace for us if only we'll reach out for it. How appropriate that she should wait to run to His arms after the Rosary was said.

She will be watching over your little one, and she will know who Granny Olga is!
