Yolanda ( Boo): My heartfelt sympathies in the loss of your Granny. My Gran transitioned on last month and not a day goes by that I don't think of her and either laugh or cry. I bless GOD for GOOD MEMORIES, a rich and full life, and his everlasting love. I pray that you will find comfort in your time with her. Grans are special and we were blessed to have really special ones. If ever you need to talk, laugh, cry or simply nothing at all, I am here. Remember Boo that GOD's GRACE IS SUFFICIENT.. for anything that we are dealing with. Trust God.. My very best to you and your family.
