I will never forget the advice you gave me when I was stressed about not having a car and having to rely on others to get to work. You reassured me that God hears our prayers and that what we need will come-just be patient. I will always carry that message with me and share it with others. I love you and you will truly be missed. Rest in paradise, my sweet and beautiful grandmother.
