I don't think besides my Mother there is no other woman I know that I looked up to more and loved than her! She was a wonderful person and a loving/giving heart. She was a Christian and taught her grandchildren the importance of having a relationship with God and never missed a Sunday service at church. One of the best cooks (if not the best cooks) in the south and always willing to help her friends and family out. Some of the best memories I have are me and her sitting on the porch and talking for hours. She died in 2002, and there is still not a day that goes by that I do not think about her and miss her - however I know she is in Heaven and in a far better place.
