To tell you the truth I had a hard time putting all my granny's good traits into writing. No matter how hard I try, I can never do justice to what she overcame in her lifetime. I know we are grieving today for we all lost a great lady. But I know wherever she is now she's happy and contented with what she left us. She was a mother and a friend to all of us. I'm sure each and everyone of you there today has something to share on how my grandmother touched your life, especially with me, as you all know she raised me as her own. We shared lots of things together and she was one of my favorite mentors. I don't know if I can still be the same person. I know that she's gone. My granny was a very strong woman and she always got her way pretty much. Maybe that's one quality I got from her. She was also a very good advisor. I would seek her advice before I'd made my own decisions. We always had long talks. Even if I didn't finish what I wanted to ask her she already had an answer for it. She was also the kind of person that would think about other people before herself. She never liked asking for help but she was always ready to lend a helping hand to others. She would do everything in her power to help other people. Although she got the chance, I think in her own way she was able to show us how important we all were to her. We may no longer see her but we'll alway have these special moments we shared with her. She will always have a special part in our hearts. et's just be thankful that we knew a special lady like my grandmother. She found peace at last with her Creator and thought is what made me get through this exprience of losing my mentor, my model, my "Mom". I love you Granny and I will miss you.
