Dr Gladys McGarey, My mother in law, died on Saturday October 28, 2024. Life Completed. It was in God’s Good Time. Deep sigh
Worship Service to Celebrate Her Life will be conducted October 25, 2024. 2,pm at Desert Palms Presbyterian Church in Sun City West, AZ. All are welcome.
Mom, Gladys, Nanni has always been an amazing person. She has been filled with Grace and Goodness. She could reframe a problem into an opportunity. She laughed. She loved her children fiercely—and loved others who were blood related or related by love. She had 6 children she birthed, and many others who benefited from her wisdom and courage.
She would be the first one who would shun being set up as a saint. She would rather be remembered by always working to bring Love and Caring into this world. When you met her you felt a shift in your life Thank you. Nanni. The grandparent name her first grandson Gabriel gave her.
She didn’t die of ‘something’. She stopped breathing after she crossed over-birthed into the arms of her beloved family who have gone before. She crossed over into the arms of her precious Analea who died in Mom’s arm 17 years ago.
Bittersweet is the way I feel it. However I decided to re-read her book, The Well Lived Life, with her having completed hers.
The six days before I sat beside her with my coffee. “Bobbie, I have done many things in my life.” She listed them ending with her final book that she learned was being translated into a second Chinese language. She said she “needed to know her next project.” She sighed neither sad or disappointed, but curious. “I just don’t think I have the energy for another adventure. Wait, I know, Crossing The Vail.” She paused and seemed to be at peace. She then said, “Now what is my schedule for today?” And she gently walked through 5 days later. Listening to the hymn, All is Well with my Soul..”
No doubt I will be writing more about her. For now…
God Abides and that is Good News,
Love
Bobbie Giltz McGarey October 9, 2024, Scottsdale AZ
