  1. I will always remember you as a kind loving person and never selfish. Always wanted to make sure all was fed and never go hungry.

  2. Granny I love you so much ❤️ no one will ever know what an amazing mother you were to me growing up. You were always there for me. You never let me go hungry or without anything. You always built me up and told me I was pretty. You knew when I felt bad. You always took care of me when I was sick. You were my rock and the person who loved me more than anyone else. No one took care of me as good as you did. You were the light and hope in my life. If it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t have anything today. I hope you stay smiling up there in heaven as look down on me. I hope I’ve made you proud as the mother of Mason I have become. I don’t know how I’m going to go on without you. You were the most beautiful soul. I hope I can become half the mother you were. I pray to lord Jesus he keeps you close in heaven and thank him graciously you no longer suffer.❤️
