“The Queen”
A mother, grandmother, great grandmother, great-great grandmother and sister. You are the foundation of our family as well as others. You are the backbone of our family for so long. You are blessed beyond measures. We continuously thank God every day for you. Words cannot compare to how wonderful you are. You are confident, “kool”, intelligent and most importantly, virtuous. You always say and put God first. Because of you Granny, I am fortunate enough to possess a passion to write. A lot of mistakes have been made, but you have never judged or turned your back on us. When things are good, you pray. When things are bad, you pray. You have taught our family that prayer is the key. You continually allow your light to shine upon all people. With that being said, Granny please know as well as understand that we all love you!!! From All of Us
