I was fortunate to have so many memories with my Grandmother. She was almost like a third parent to me. No matter what phase of life I was in, for better or worse, she always had nothing but love for me. Her family was strong and tightknit from my perspective. I enjoyed sitting around her kitchen table (which she gave to me over 10 years ago) for meals and getting to know her brothers and sisters and the rest of her family and friends. I have the same style as she did when preparing meals for my family. Always getting back up out of her chair to get something else for someone else, though she truly seemed to enjoy it!
She introduced me to spirituality. I remember the most constant aspect of her was caring for older women in her family and community...and trying to feed me and give me food at every encounter. Even the last time I went to visit her she had chocolate and snacks in her room she asked me to get for my mother, brother, and my youngest daughter Sierra. She even had coloring books on that occasion for Sierra. Sierra had a strong bond with her Great-grandmother too, whom my children called GG.
She endured so much loss in life, but never gave up on faith or love. I will miss her always
