Hey Granny, I miss you so much, words can't explain. I find myself looking at you pictures all the time. Every morning when i get up, i say to myself, " I wonder what granny is doing in heaven today". It adds comfort that i know where you went. You are in heaven smiling down on us. You prepared us for you departure and I promise that i'm not going to let you down. I've never thought about life without you but you taught us right. I love you so much. You are my heart and i was your number 1 and still is. Love You granny

Mother Downs (whom I called granny) was a classy, God-fearing, full of wisdom woman of God that will be greatly missed. I loved to talk with her because she always made me laugh and when I found out she was sick, I made my way to see her. I will never forget our last time together. I will never forget that awesome peach cobbler she used to make. To the family, she is gone but never will we forget her. She has touched so many lives.
