Grandma always had such a caring and giving heart! She was always helping people, even when they didn't know or she wouldn't get recognition and THAT is the heart of a TRUE angel . She literally had a heart of gold. She held no grudges, and her compassion and ability to just listen without saying anything when you needed to talk was an amazing quality she had. I grew very close to her in the last 11 years, she became a huge part of mine and Cash's life and she is going to be greatly missed in our lives! We will be loving you always Grandma(Meemaw).
Love always Lynn & Cash
