I am so sorry to hear that your mother and grandmother has passed.
There is nothing that I can say that will comfort you at this time. I could only hope that my mother was with the Lord at this time. Heaven is a wonderful place to be if it is all that we read about. I am sure you will see her again! The Bible tells of a glorious place where there is no more pain or suffering. A place where God and Jesus is and that each that goes there will serve God forever. We will be known as we are known here on earth. You will surely see her again some day if you believe that Jesus is your Savior.
I will be thinking of you in this difficult time and will pray that the Comforter will come to you as you need Him.
I love each of you and you may call me any time you would like to talk. I may not have the answers you need, but I can lend a shoulder to cry on.
She lived a long full life. Remember the good times and be greatful for the time you had to share with her.
God be with you
