My grandmother was so sweet,kind,strong and the cutest little lady. She took me in as her own at the age of 6 and she has been a major part in the woman I am today. She taught me discipline she was always up early and followed a strict schedule. She had the best oxtails, haven't had any better than hers to this day! She was a lady of grace and dedication. She raised one of the BEST men I know, my father who is a mighty man of valor! She will be missed but all the wisdom, knowledge and kindness she spread will live on through all the lives she has touched. Especially mine! Love you always and forever my sweet grandmother ❤
