I have known Mrs Atkinson as my neighbor for quite some time. I have witnessed her babysit several kids over the years. Offer gardening tips and even refuse playfully to speak to me because I moved out the neighborhood. It will be strange not to see her sitting on the porch this year telling coco not to speak to me. She will be greatly missed.

Sleep on, grandma, sleep,
and take thy rest;
Lay down thy head
upon the Savior's breast;
I love thee well,
but Jesus loves thee best
Good night!
Good night!
Good night!
I will never forget grandma for all her jokes, pep talks and above all her disciplines. Her values and principles are asset i will always cherish.
