A hardworking, persistent, independent woman of faith – these are just some of the many words that describe who my late grandmother was.
Her life was a testament to how hard work and dedication can take you where you need to be.
She always had something to share – whether it was a story from her past, a tale from a novel or history book she had read, or a verse from the Bible – and each one always carried a lesson to be learned.
We were fortunate to have had her in our lives. She was always there for anyone who needed her and kept us all close, from childhood to adulthood.
Thank you, grann', for scolding us when necessary, for being our home dentist, seamstress, and counsellor, and for looking after us as we grew up.
You will forever be remembered by those of us who cherished your company and loved you dearly.
Fly high – you are now with the love of your life.
Rest in peace, grandma!
