After we lost our mother I could always count on her. I could cry on her shoulder. Every time I looked at her I saw my mother in her. The last time I talked to her she told me she was ready for God to take her home. I’m glad her suffering is over. I will miss her so much.

I love you, Grandma. I’ll always remember singing, “He’s Still Working on Me†with you and “I’ll Fly Awayâ€. Well, you get to fly away and be home and in peace. Give my daddy some extra hugs from me â¤ï¸

She was loved by many people, including people in the church, and her family, she always took care of other people before putting herself first. There are so many memories many people have with her and they are loved memories as well.
