To my dearest Granny, the best grandmother I could have ever asked for, truly such an amazing woman, one of the most independent individuals that I have ever meet. You thought me how to do so many things. You were such a hard worker and always up at the crack of dawn, drinking coffee and watching the birds. Some of my fondest memories were spent with you. From working in the yard, fishing off the dock, dancing in the kitchen as there was always music playing on the radio. I was always into everything, from cutting down your tree, to hunting in your yard, climbing the magnolia trees, helping you with chores in and around the house and keeping you truck washed. You have always been my hero and my inspiration. I love you with all my heart and will always continue to climb the latter of success, and live by the advice, lessons and wisdom that you stowed upon me. I always want to make you proud and honor your memories. There was always a house full of company, as you had so many people who loved you, that would stop by to visit. I remember you taking me out each year for my birthday dinner, just the two of us. You mean so much to me and I was not ready for you to go. However Josh has been ready to see you for years and he is glad to know your at peace and to be reunited with you. I wish I had one more day with you and I am thankful for the time we have been able be together. You would make us a pallet on the floor, and cook the best pizzas, take us to rent movies to watch and it was the best. I remember, you would cook breakfast that was so good and you would have everything , just a huge spread. Thanksgiving & Christmas Dinners were the best, Turkey Necks, Duck, the different dishes you and aunt KK would make were endless. There was always so much love in the home, you were always full of the best advice and I don't know of anything you couldn't do. I know you just wanted to regain the strength to do the things you loved to do. I just wish we had you for one more day, I never looked forward to this bc I knew the world would loose a truly amazing woman. Granny, I love you and I miss you and I am thankful for all that you thought me. I am thankful for the time that we spent together, and I look forward to the day that I can see you once again. You will always be on my mind and in my heart. I could write for hours, but I guess I will take a break and dry my eyes and get back to work even though I don't really want to, I have a lot of work left to do to keep up with my granny. What did you always say, " your going to have to get up early If your going to keep up with your granny" Granny I'll talk with you soon and just remember. Granny I Love you!!!

Loved this lady with my whole heart, she was my surrogate mom after losing my mom and Patricia Smith, her sisters. To be with her was an amazing experience. She was so lively and larger than life. My faith let's me know, I will see them all again. Love you, until I see you all again.
