This woman was always my rock. The glue to our family. From raising me when I was a little girl to help me raise your grandkids. Grandma you did it all. You taught me to fight for what I want, love everyone and you will be loved, from coming to your house and cleaning for you, to chasing me with a yard stuck to spank me. I will forever miss you grandma. Until we meet again. Say hi to Grandpa and my brother for me. I love you Grandma.
