Granny,
Granny had a lot of grandchildren and somehow she manage to make me feel like I was the one and only grandchild and granny always made me feel special throughout my life the good and the bad. I loved helping granny cook, mostly eating helpings before food was serve. Granny was the best, I grew up watching soaps, news and game shows with my granny, oh and granny introduced me to courtv. I remember picking veggies out the garden, fruit off the trees, talking on the phone with granny any time of the day or night, but most of all I will always remember granny's beautiful smile and her TLC that she showed not only me, but everyone in our family and her friends. Love you granny (granny with the cats as MiKiah would call you)miss you granny!!!!! I know that you are at peace granny and Mikiah and I know you and Delores are in heaven smiling down on everyone and I am glad to have another angel watching over me!!!
Love you,
Granddaughter Kia
