She was such a doll. I was fortunate to see her at my mother's funeral in December. She was always such a joy to talk to.

I think this story speaks true of my granny. As a child, once on a Florida trip with my mom, sister, myself and granny. She rode the entire drive home with curlers in her hair, however once the long drive home was coming ahead she asked that we pull over so that she may take out her curlers and fluff her newly enhanced hairdo as to look gorgeous when reunited with her husband (granddaddy). Granny being granny, hours before her last breath asked for a mirror Tuesday morning so that she may once again fluff her white curly hair so that she may again look beautiful for Jesus, husband and all else she would be soon standing in front of in heaven. Granny, curls or no curls you have and always will be gorgeous!! We love you and will always miss you. Thank you for being our loving granny!!! -Katie Bishop
