I am so lost with my words, I can´t believe you or gone my sweet grandma. If nobody knows my Grandma was a woman who loved the Lord and she instilled in all of us the importance of serving God and how to conduct ourselves and be proud of where we came from. She was always teaching us, and with each teaching she taught with Love but the most important thing my Grandma gave the greatest love and that was unconditional love!! She loved us no matter what journey we as individuals took in our lives. Oh my Grandma was a fox she loved to sing and dance with us.Yes and her cooking was on point especially when she made that peach cobbler and I would eat all of the crust and just leave the peaches in the pan. Oh I can hear her saying "Pamela stay out my cobbler" but as time went by we compromise she started making me a small one without the peaches. I´m going to miss those mornings back in the day being outside watching her plant her flowers and tending to her garden as well as hanging up clothes on the clothes line even though we had a dryer that worked perfectly well in the house. I just want the world to know that my Grandma was the best Grandma you could ever ask for!!She always showed up for me, I´m not going to say Goodbye granny but I will see you soon again. Love Pamela
