I was sorry to hear about your loss, but very happy to know that you had your Grandmother around for a very long time. Thanks for sharing a little of the personal details... it serves to remind me of similiar experience with others who have moved on in their eternal journey. Wonderful memories of her will sustain you throughout your life as the temporary pain you are now feeling passes. My thoughts and prayers go with you at this time.
So sorry to hear about your grandmother. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. May peace be with you.

Thanks everyone and I appreciate all of your kind words.
It's been a very sad day and yet a joyous day that she's entered into God's heavenly glory.
We just got back from the calling hours and alot of people came by who knew her, friends and families. There were flowers everywhere in the viewing room, there were two other lamb dolls besides mine.
One gentleman came by and told me he knew her briefly from when she fell and broke her hip 3 years or so ago and his wife was a nurse caring for her at the time. He came by to visit his wife and that's when he met Banko and he told me that he was profoundly effected by her sweetness and outgoing personality. He never forgotten her until one day he saw her name in the obituary and was shocked to find out she had passed away, so he came by to visit Banko and paid his final respects. I thought it was so neat to hear that from him.
Banko touched so many lives in the past that many came to say goodbye and thank you to Banko.
Here's her obit:

There's a missing piece of information on her obit that I am not seeing from the original copy that I saw on the table.
Banko had 2 brushes with death in her lifetime. One was that while she was a telephone operator as a teenager, a lightening bolt struck where she worked and she became stuck where she was sitting and they had to pry her loose.
The second brush with death was that she stopped what she thought was at the front of the train tracks and turned out her front end was over the tracks and a train took the entire front end off. She has never driven since then, that was when she was in her 40s. So Bank Roy did all the driving for her since.
She had quite an interesting history.
Well, I'm staying at my sister's house for the night and I'll post more info later. I gotta get off since she doesn't want me online for long....
Take care folks!
