"Granny" was such a beautiful example of God's love lived out loud. Our world will have a void without her but but we know in heaven she is no longer restrained by a failing body. Her beautifu soul free to walk with the Lord she served so faithfully. I will truly miss her but know that my life was enriched for knowing her. Rest in peace "Granny"
