A while back, we down-loaded a whole load of Amazing Grace versions in order to choose the best one for our Grandma Stumpy’s Funeral. We like any opportunity to sing along to Amazing Grace because the song gives us a deeply cathartic feeling of emancipation.
Gnome says: “It is deeply cleansing…like a purge.”
Munchkin says, “I can release all my suffering now…”
Please sing along with us to our Amazing Grace shortlist and vote in our “The Best of Amazing Grace” Poll.
This is an MGNews Special to present a Farewell To Grandma Stumpy. Our lovely and wonderful Grandma Vanessa Stumpy passed away peacefully in her sleep on the 3rd of October 2015 at her home in Paradise Piggies. She died at the grand old age of 8 years old.
Grandma Stumpy.
Grandmas Stumpy is the Grandmother of all the piggies and she mothered generations upon generations of piggies on Paradise Pastures. She will be sorely missed by all. She was our Sunshine, she was the lovely piggie with a gorgeous heart of gold. We Love You Stumpy!!
Grandma Stumpy You Are The Best!!
The funeral was held today at Paradise Pastures. All the piggies gathered to pay their respect.
