Title: Condolences to Vanessa on the loss of her grandmother
Post by: Danny R on February 11, 2005, 05:24:31 am

A user on the official board (http://www.vanessacarlton.com/bboard/forumname/viewtopic.asp?TopicID=1533446) states that Vanessa's grandmother passed away this past month.  At first glance it appears true... perhaps someone here can confirm it.  In any case, our thoughts are with the family.

Here is the obituary:

Quote

Mrs. Shirley A. Carlton of Matamoras, Pa., a retired insurance broker and 12 year resident of the area, died Wednesday January 19, 2005, at Milford Senior Care & Rehabilitation Center in Milford, Pa. She was 82.

I like how that announcement was so tastefully written, without an "Oh, and by the way, her granddaughter Vanessa is a famous musician blah, blah, blah...."  A simple mention by name, I felt, was very appropriate because Vanessa is not the focus here.  

And I'm with all of you:  I've lost a couple of grandparents in my life, and I know what it can do to a family.  My heart is with them. :(

My condolences and prayers to her and her family.  People from that generation are among the finest people I've ever encountered. Sweet, generous, and tough as nails.
It's just awful, but an unfortunate part of life.

Padre nuestro, que estás en el cielo,
santificado sea tu Nombre;
venga a nosotros tu reino;
hágase tu voluntad en la tierra como en el cielo.
Danos hoy nuestro pan de cada día;
perdona nuestras ofensas,
como también nosotros perdonamos a los que nos ofenden;
no nos dejes caer en la tentación,
y líbranos del mal.


Dios te salve, María, llena eres de gracia,
el Señor es contigo.
Bendita tú eres entre todas las mujeres,
y bendito es el fruto de tu vientre, Jesús.
Santa María, Madre de Dios,
ruega por nosotros pecadores,
ahora y en la hora de nuestra muerte.

Amen

I agree, it was very tastefully done. My condolences to her and her family.
