I don’t even know what to say or what to think other than nobody in the world could have a possibly asked God for a better, more loving and more lovable grandmother. She was always like another mother to me and was always, always there for me no matter what, or no matter what I was going through in my life. I love and miss granny so much and am so eternally grateful to God that myself, Amy, Scott, Melanie and her family and uncle Paul and his side of the family, Mildred (who was always really very close to granny and always called to check on her daily), and Nancy, Melissa, Savannah and Wanda and plus, every single person from the Demonbreun side who got to visit and see her and spend time with her. She loved having people come see her so much. She truly loved it and was always so happy whenever people would come to see her and show how much they loved her and people who called her if they couldn’t come by in person. I can’t express how much joy I saw on her face and how she was in such good spirits whenever someone came by to see her in the last few weeks. I just want to sincerely truly thank everyone who came by to see granny, whether in the hospital or on Galaxie Drive, and please know how much you all lifted her spirits and renewed her energy whenever you came by to see her and how much she loved that.
Thank you so much to everyone.
