In memory of my Grandma, the inspiration behind the Gaiscioch

My Grandma, Martina Foley was a major inspiration to me through my childhood, talked me down from suicide in my teenage years, conforted me through the endless hazing, taught me how to draw, and how a man should love his wife. She taught me how to dine and showed me proper etequite and manors. She was an awesome cook. She was a beacon of light in my life and one of the inspirations behind why I created the Gaiscioch.

 

30 minutes ago she passed on to her next adventure. While I will miss her terribly the past few years have had her trapped in a body that refused to respond. Now she is free to shine like she did so well. Thank you for everything Grandma. You will live on through me.

Ysolde, that's my ma, not grandma. Grandma hasn't spoken in years and could not use 70% of her body. Second stroke took everything from her that she loved. Couldn't even hug her grandchildren. While she passed today I am more relived and happy that she has escaped her prison.

I'm sorry for your loss, a loss that would seem to diminish the light in one's life.  But given your words it seems the treasures of your loved one will continue to live on in you, and what you created with the love she helped to shape.  

 

Nothing ever makes the passing of a loved one easier, but there is some comfort in the living memory and testimony of one's life beneath the influence of one we have cared for.  In a manner of speaking - she will be with you (and Gaiscioch) forever.

 

May God bless you and your family during this time, and may her soul be delivered into peace.

As always you and your family will be in my thoughts and blessings.   As Caledfwlch stated, and as I deeply believe, they are never truly gone... they are always walking beside us when we need them.  Your relationship with her is never over - hold on to that and feel her strength - heed her wisdom.  They will always be there for you to draw upon.

Safe Journ Grandma Foley... walk in peace.

As many already know, we lost a well-loved part of our family today. Martina Mae Foley was the greatest prayer warrior I know. She taught me how to cook, paint, pray, and loved teaching me to be a good wife and mother. She had a way of making me laugh when I was down. She taught me how life was a gift from God - unique, with a special gift to be used to help others learn how the Lord loves and cares for us. Thank you Mom - Tina - for being there for me and raising a wonderful man that became a great husband and father. I see your spirit and what you taught in my children. You will always be a special part of our lives and memories. I will definitely miss you Mom.

She is now free from the shell she was trapped in and I can hear her laughing and carrying on with the Lord. She is in the best place she can be. I also smell her wonderful cinnamon rolls and cobbler in the air. She must be baking !

My condolences to the Fog Family.  I only had one grandparent who lived long enough to see me enter the world, and she was a wonderful, special lady in my eyes.  Though her last few years with us were clouded by Alzheimer's, time has faded those sad memories and all I'm left with are the good ones of a lady who loved, laughed, and lived life to the fullest.

It sounds as if Mrs. Foley was cut from the same cloth as my grandmother...God bless her on her journey.

I was told something once and I hope I get it right for you

 

"the best proof that one has lead a good life is through the actions  of those you cared for and nurtured, as they are the ones who will carry on your legacy."

 

this or something like it was said at my grandfathers funeral and I guess what I mean by it is while we may never have met your grandmother we have met you, which means she must have been a hell of a woman.

my thoughts and prayers go out to you my friend and know she is in a better place.

Having lost my mother a few years back, I understand what you and your family are going through, and I can relate to that sense of relief that your grandma is flying free at last, ready to embark upon her next wondrous journey in the eternal alchemy of life.  Now is the time to celebrate the life she lived and let her legacy continue to shine on through all of you.

Light and love to all.
