When I was sad, she made me happy. When I was down, she lifted me up. When I needed a hug, she was there with her arms wide open. When I needed to be loved, she loved me. When I needed someone to talk to, she was there. My Grandmama will be most def missed in so many ways. Please continue to pray for my family during this trying time.
