My grandma was a talented apple pie maker, pianist, and always wore lipstick. Put her heart into her political work and was faithful and sturdy always. I remember her African violets and how she valued intelligence and decorum. She loved her family deeply. I miss her presence still, even years later.

May the God of all comfort and mercy give the family hope and peace during this time of sadness. Jeremiah 29:11,12.
