TO A WONDERFUL WOMEN I HAD THE PLEASURE OF MEETING JUST 3 YEARS AGO. SHE AND I CONNECTED RIGHT FROM THE START. SHE WAS AN INSPIRTATION TO ME AND MY BOYS. I NEVER HAD A GRANDMOTHER AND SHE ALLOWED ME IN EVEN WITHOUT HAVING BLOODLINE. AND NEVER MADE ME FEEL LIKE AN OUTSIDER. WE SHARED MANY CONVERSATIONS TOGETHER WITH HER WISDOM AND A WORLD OF KNOWLEDGE. SHE WILL TRUELY BE MISSED. FOR ONLY KNOWING HER FOR THE SHORT TIME IT FELT LIKE A LIFETIME. TO ALL THE FAMILY PLEASE KNOW THIS SHE ALWYAYS SAID "SHE WAS VERY PROUD OF EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU". THE LAST 2 FAMILY GET TOGERTHES SHE HAD A GREAT TIME. SHE LOVED SEEING ALL DOWN IN NC AND THE LAST TIME SHE SAID SHE EVEN WENT FISHING "BUT DIDN'T CATCH A THING". I STUCK IN THERE WITH HER THROUGH THICK AND THIN. AND LOVED EVERY MOMENT OF IT. FOR SHE WAS THE ONLY ONE I COULD OPEN UP COMPELETY WITH. SHE NEVER HAD THE CHANCE TO MEET MY BOYS IN PERSON BUT THEY SPOKE ON THE PHONE SEVERAL TIMES, AND THEY LOVED HER TOO.

LOVE TANYA ERIC AND SHAWN
