Known to me as granny, I would like to say to her family that if you were every looking for a jewel, if you were ever looking for an example she was the very best example that you needed in order to follow Christ. Always sweet, always loving, always warm and friendly, always what you needed at any given moment. Granny I sure do miss you.
