In Loving Memory
My beloved Grammy went home to be with the Lord this past week. She lived everyday of her 100 years of life in joyful celebration. She was a blessing and inspiration to all who knew her and was the finest example of what a Christian lady should be. Her funeral was a celebration of her life, and oh, what a life it was! Words could never properly express how grateful I am that God blessed me with Grammy. She was my teacher/mentor and my greatest inspiration.
As most of you know, my Grammy loved flowers. As friends and family were leaving the church, Miss Bonnie handed each one a beautiful long stem rose in loving memory of my Grammy. The following was poem attached:
The sweetest flower that grows
I give you as we part
To you it is a rose
To me it is my heart
