You have blessed my life so much, from London Oak to now. You have always made me and Shanita feel welcome. It's little things that made you Granny to us. Things that were not often seen. Things like being there when days where hard for us, for the long day of me working and keeping an eye out for Shanita. Our hearts will always remember the love you gave us. Whether you are here on earth or in heaven with God, you will always be our Granny.
