Miss Lois- Grannie Post

I picked up Torren from school one afternoon last week.  On our way to the car he mentioned Miss Lois, a former resident of Statesville Place, along with Torren’s great-grandfather Charles.  Miss Lois used to give Torren a Tootsie Pop every time we visited.  She passed away last year.  He asked me why Miss Lois died and I told him it was partly because she was so old and had gotten sicker.  I followed up by trying to explain that now she’s in Heaven and not sick or hurting anymore and probably going into more detail than necessary.  I got to a point where I was at a loss for words and Torren finished my sentence for me.  I started to say she was in a better body now but that didn’t seem exactly right and I had paused after saying “better.”  Torren supplied the exact right word – “world.”  Miss Lois is in a better world now
