The kids and I will miss you great granny. you were such a loving and wonderful woman.
Granny always told me I was her favorite. Little did she know she has always been my favorite. I hope and pray I can be half the person she was. To a wonderful, caring, loving woman I say, ‘I love you and miss you’.
God’s most precious work of art, is the warmth and love of a Grandmother’s heart! Granny, you will always be remembered for your warmth, love and the creativity that you shared with each of us. You took the time to teach us your gift of cooking and crocheting. I will always remember your laugh, your smile, and your hugs. No one ever left your house without getting a hug! You can now rest with Jesus, and feel no more pain. I know that I will see you again one day. For now, I have all the wonderful memories to keep with me until I see you again! I love you Granny! Rest comfortably and peacefully! (P.S. I won’t tell anyone that you always told me that I was your favorite!)
Joyce and family,
Ms Williams was always one of my favorite people to visit. She always made my day better with her smile!!!
My thoughts and prayers are with you all!!!
