Kathy, It was always a joy for me to stay with Granny. I loved her as if she were my own. Today I feel so lost. I feel as if I have lost my own mother again and it hasnt been a yr since my mom passed. Granny was always glad when I would come she made that no secret. It was a pleasure to take care of her. She was so precious to me. I have cried until I know not what to do; I will miss her so so much. Please remember I am always here for you. With all my love, Nancy Jayroe.
