I have few memories of meeting my grandmother. But have been told by two of her daughters (my aunts) what a dedicated mother she was. Although there was little money, she would always find a way to make sure all her girls had few needs. The stories are sure to bring tears to anyone's eyes. She lived a life full of loss and devastation. She was a special person whom I know is in God's hands.
