Granny

I believe this is the most difficult thing I've ever had to do. My beloved Granny has passed away. There is so much I wish that everyone could know about her... like how when she hugged you it felt like sunshine or that she never had a bad word to say about anyone. The most important thing about Granny is that she taught that the most important gift you can give is love. She loved each and everyone of us and we never doubted that. I have always said that I have never doubted there was a God because 1 John 4:8 states that God is love...and I have ALWAYS known love.
