~~~~~~~~~~~~My Grandma~~~~~~~~~~~~

The most wonderful, Christian female example I ever knew. I never understood why she would make me read a chapter of the Gospel of John before we could sleep (I spent the night with her a lot after my Grandpa died.) Finally, I understand why she made sure The Word was written in my heart..."Raise a child in the way they should go, and when they are old, they will not depart from it."

Thank you, Grandma. Much Love. See you soon...
