My dear grandfather was a great man, strong as his unique name implies. He was kind, honest, loving and always positive.

My love for my grandparents is infinite, no one can replace them, there will always be a void in my heart that longs for them. Through my sorrows they made me laugh at the hurt, so I can grow and face the world wiser. When I needed someone to help me (even when I didn't know I was in need) they made me cry not to bring me down but to strengthen me; their honesty protected me, as though the word of God was spoken through them. Their words of wisdom were their greatest gift to the world, I was blessed to truly know and spend time with them.

Not a day goes by that I don't think of my grandparents, they were the glue keeping us all together. I was so blessed to have them in my life.

Granny and Pawpaw, I miss you, I love you.

Deacon Horsten Scroggins & his wife the late Ruby Scroggins was my mentors.
When it's comes to class, they put the (C) in class.
I remember about 12 years ago the Sis. Ruby came to see me in the church office. She told me that she wanted Teresa to sing the song
"Don't Cry For Me" at my funeral and I want her to sing all four verses.
Thanks to Angela Finch she found the song. She would alway say,
Teresa you are going to be a great gospel singer one day.
Your DAD is with (PUDDING) now . He made preparation long time ago and would"nt take nothing for his journey now!
Peace, Love & A prayer!
