Granny, I miss you so much. I still can't believe you are gone. It hurts so bad that I lost my mom, my grandmother, my best friend. I pray that you are watching over us. You were the heart and soul of our family.

So sorry to hear about your mom. She was a lot of fun to be around. We had some great times at Valley Kitchens. I still have a tape of gospel songs she gave me when I moved to West Virginia. Will keep you in my prayers for God to comfort you. I'm also going to pray if you don't know Jesus as your personal Savior you will ask him into your heart.
