Update...

Wow, a lot has happened since the last post. Memaw Billye continued to get worse about 2 weeks ago and the entire family held vigil with her. We all left August the 3rd and sadly she passed away at 7:10 am on August the 4th. Her daughters were with her to the last breath. Mom called me on my way to work to let me know. It hit me hard that my grandmother, my daughters "Special Grandma" was gone..No more 'Good Morning Memaw, How are you feeling today'! So after the phone call i went to work to get some things done before i left to be with my mom. Well I left work around 9:00 am so i could be with Mom when the funeral home came and got Memaw. It was so hard seeing them roll her out but knowing that she was already in heaven with Papaw was comforting! I never imagined that this day could get worse....
After the funeral home people left we all met at the Funeral Home to start planning her funeral. Well, CGM's phone rang and it was BBL and I told her that i would call him back! I glanced at my phone and noticed there were 8 missed calls...4 from BBBL and 4 from my mom-in-law...I knew something was wrong so i immediately called BBL and he asked if i had talked with anyone from work...Well No was my answer and his next words shook my world...He said..They were just robbed at gunpoint...I fell to my knees...! First of all, That is like my family and someone had stolen not only money but comfort from them and Second, I was supposed to be there and they had to get another teller from a different office. I automatically felt guilty. We are fortunate that no-one was physically harmed but mentally they were harmed. It was pretty awesome that one of the girls that was there said that threw the entire robbery you could hear prayers being said. How awesome!

Almost 2 weeks later...things are slowly getting back to normal although Memaws presence is surely missed but she is in no more pain. Please continue to pray for my family during this time.
Work is getting back to normal, although 2 people have resigned their positions from the bank. Please continue to pray for our safety at the Bank! I am tired and going to bed but i will finish updating later!
Until Next Time
