Dearest Stephanie,
Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers. God promised us 77 years, blessed my grandmother with 92, and so as we buried her 2 weeks ago, I was comforted by that promise, her life and legacy. My prayer for you is peace in this hour, and sweet, special, comical, endearing memories. I wish you remembrances of recipes, and things she taught you, funny things she said, songs she sung, and for her spirit to be carried on in you.
Love you Sis,
Audrey Johnson

Trust in the Lord and He shall direct your path. My prayers are with you. Love Audrey Johnson( Mrs. Ethel Smith Daughter)

Praise the Lord Sister Stephanie,
Grandparents are special people in our lives. God has given us all minds that store "memories". Embrace this time to reflect. Her body goes away not her spirit. My prayers are for your strength at this time.
