"Grandma" and I shared many conversations at Beauty Expo. She and I enjoyed talking about God's Word. I'd ask about her(and Granddaddy,too)on every visit to Beauty Expo. I will miss her. My prayers are offered for strength for the family. Hold fast to your memories and your faith in God.

"Grandma" as she was affectionately called by many was
a true joy to be around. Her bright smile and her words
of wisdom were always encouraging. She will be missed
but she leaves a legacy and a faith in God we can all
emulate. Respectually sumbitted Ramona S. Ransom & Family
