Grandma was a great women and she was loved by many i will miss her very much. I know that she is with grandpa now and she is no longer suffering but it will still be hard to get through this life without her and i also know that we will be with her again someday, all we can do is remember the good times we got to share with her and also that her life is not over but it has just began. I will always love grandma.

Remember the good things about mamaw. She was such a good person and would help anyone that needed it. She's home now with papaw where she has no worries and no pain. We will always keep her in our hearts.
