We found out today that Granny's constant companion since moving her into Wellington Place passed away today. He was 92 years old. He really looked after Granny and loved her. His wife had died a few years ago at Wellington and she and Granny shared the same name. I'm sure that is why he was drawn to her at first, but her sweet spirit kept him coming to get her each and every morning. They both seemed truly happy when in each others company. With Granny's mind the way it is (she has now about a 2 minute memory), we are uncertain of how she will handle this. So far, she hasn't asked for him and we are praying that the disease of Alzheimers can be a blessing so she won't have to hurt and miss him. Our whole family had grown very fond of Mr. Ralph Price and we will miss him greatly. We thank you, Lord, for sending this angel of a man to love our precious Granny. Hold him tightly in your arms.

Oh MaryAnn... that is so sweet. To think that Alzheimers could be a blessing... is a little bit of a twist, but a very good point. They look so happy in that picture. What a gift God can still provide even in our old age. He is definitely worthy of our praise!
So sorry to hear that...I know you are all a little sad, but hopefully Granny won't know the difference. A blessing in disgise
I cried when I read this. I will miss hearing all the sweet stories about them. It was a privledge to hear about their sweet relationship
