I'm thankful that I had an amazing grandmother into my adult life that was the best role model ever. Leslie took these pictures at her celebration of life. I'm so glad I have them to look back on, my mamaw is proud I'm sure. She wanted her family to be happy and celebrate her long life of 90 years, if she only knew how hard it would be for us to say goodbye. She passed away on Valentines Day and I can't think of another day so appropriate for her to meet the Lord. She was the closest thing to perfect I probably will ever know, she was kind, loving, gentle and above all, she was a Christian. She laid to rest a daughter at the age of two, her husband of more than thirty years and 4 months later her son. She lost grandchildren and great grandchildren but never once did she question the Lord. She had 11 children and 23 grandchildren and she always made each of us feel unique and special. I think of her everyday and know the heavens are rejoicing, for they truly got an angel.
