A tribute to a wonderful woman...
Grandma,
I would not be the person I am today if it were not for you always believing in me and encouraging me to be the person you knew I could be; the person God called me to be. You’ve taught me so many lessons about life and love. Every part of your life was overflowing with the love you had for God and His people. You were always willing to help others even when that meant simply listening. And you always brought a smile to the faces of those you encountered, whether it was with your banana bread, cookies, birthday cards or kind and encouraging words. Your encouragement in my life has shaped who I am. You never told me that my dreams were unattainable; rather you encouraged me to keep seeking out God’s dreams and plans for my life. When I decided to go to Africa, you were beside me every step of the way, encouraging me to keep on going. Grandma, your encouraging words and use of Scriptures to help guide me meant more than words can express. I will miss that.
Every moment I was privileged to spend with you was a moment filled with love and joy. My favorite memories of you and me are when we would decorate cookies and cakes together or bake yummy banana bread. But it wasn’t just baking, it was a time for laughter and getting to know each other better. And I loved going places with you, not because of the things we went to do or see, but because we always had a good time and you always made me feel loved. I can truly say that spending time with you was one of my favorite things to do. You will be greatly missed.
More than anything I’ll miss your warm hugs. Your hugs were filled with love and tenderness and compassion, and many times it felt as though I was being hugged by an angel. But, truth is, I was. You were and will always be an angel to me, and I thank you for being such a blessing in my life. You’ve touched my heart and my life in more ways than you’ll ever know. Thank you.
I love you Grandma!

Oh, and I'll really miss buying you any and every pig that I see. ;)
