My grandmother was a very sweet woman who loved to send us chocolate chip cookies when we were younger and I always remember her making us dinner and serving us pineapple juice when we came to visit her. I’m so glad I was able to visit her a couple of months before her passing as we lived far away from each other. I will definitely miss her sweet and lovely demeanor. I’m sure she us with Jesus, she praised him everyday.
remembering you always, mother
