My Grandmother, Eleanor E (Wilson) Fierro passed away this afternoon.

September 13, 2011 Juli Hoffman

Grandma F 2 — (Pictured right to left.) My grandmother: Eleanor E (Wilson) Fierro, her daughter/my aunt: Kay Randall, and her son/my father Thomas Brown.

This afternoon, my Gramanor passed way. We all knew her death was coming. I believe she was eighty-nine years young. She spoke with a minister last week, made her peace, and slipped quietly away in her sleep. She was loved by many, and will be missed.

Sorry for your loss, Juli. It’s always hard, even when you can prepare yourself. Hope you’re doing okay.

  Thank you Claire. My Aunt is taking it hard, but my dad seems to be doing OK. I don’t think it will fully hit me until the funeral.

Sorry for your loss. To slip “quietly away in her sleep” is not a small thing though. Bless you and your family.

  Thank you Linda. She wasn’t in any pain. She just became tired, went to sleep, and didn’t wake up. She was ready. I can think of worse ways to go.
