Grandma was our family rock that we all loved and respected so much. She was always concerned about her family and friends. She always knew where everything was and had anything we needed. She had a good sense of humor and I liked to tease her. She kept busy working around the house or doing crafts or sewing. She did not like to complain. Her door was always open. Her love for us kept us stable. Now she's with her friend Jesus. I am happy for her but I will miss her until I see her in Heaven someday.
