This is my beautiful Granny. Her family misses her so. She was a wonderful grandmother. I remember her teaching me to fish with bread instead of worms, how to gather eggs from her chickens. Picking peas in her garden. Laughing at jokes and her "I love you" before saying goodbye...without fail. She had 90 years on this earth and though I wish I had 90 more I am also happy knowing she has been reunited with Granddaddy in Heaven. I know he had a big hug waiting for her. Thank you to our wonderful friends who have been so kind to us during our time of sorrow. It means so much to the family.
