To the Granger family: Much love to you all and thank God for a beautiful mother, grandmother, and friend. Mama Granger meant so much to us and especially to me. She was a mother in the Lord indeed, an anointed songbird, and she often encouraged me to exercise my gift in the Lord with love and compliments. And I thank God for her wonderful rolls and how she shared them with us. Mama has gone on to rest and to a blessed peace and reward for her labors of love. May God continue to strengthen you and bless you and keep you in the days ahead. Hope to see you soon.
