Her love for her family and friends meant everything to her. but her and i shared a special bond the love this woman showed me was unconditional she could never stay mad at me long and just appreciated my company, so many great memories of her. even to her dying days she was more worried about me then herself.. night before she went to hospital i stayed night with her i laid on one couch her the other and we just talked as she loved to do haha..and i had told her hundreds of times as i teared up that i loved her so much and i dont know what i would do without her she usually told me the same thing and that was that she loved me and to not think about that that night as i told her she said "tu i'm gonna tell you what your gonna do your gonna get yourself together and take care of 3 three boys you have they need thier momma, and she said and i'm gonna be alright i'm gonna see my mom n dad again and im going to give your little girl a kiss for you" she made me promise then that i would rejoice her death and not shed tears and i told her that was a promise i could not keep and reminded her of her fathers funeral and she said well promise me you wont go crazy and do anything drastic and i could promise her that.....i cant remember a time i ever called her and needed her and she didnt come to my rescue no matter what the circumstance she would make sure i was taken care of...i cherish my memories i had last year and half we played bingo couple times a week and the 20 phone calls a day ...during her last couple hours i got to go in and say my goodbyes which was one of the hardest things i had to do in my life besides burying my little girl but i got myself together and i told her exactly how much im goin to miss her and i dont know how to live without her but that it was ok to pass on and i promised her she wouldnt have to worry about me i was going to get my life back on track and her grandkids would be ok...after that i told her i wasnt saying goodbye but i'll see you later....she grasp my hand and i knew she heard me......when she left she took a piece of me with her...but our spirits have an unbreakable bond i dont think she's with me i know my grandmother is with me and has guided me and inspired just as she did when she was on earth...god blessed me with her presence just as he blessed me with my daughters as well....and i dont know the reasoning why he took the 2 most precious things to me away but i know they are together and my baby gets to be spoiled by her maw maw .....you were buried together and i know your together up thier....i will never let my boys forget what a wonderful spirit she was and how she loved them beyond measures....thank you god for giving me that last night with her and i believe that you blessed me with that...our talk that night was on such a level that i feel peace because i know she knew how much i loved her she knew how much i appreciated her and she knew she was everything to me i told her she was my best friend i got alot out durng that talk the night before she went to hospital then i ever had and was so blessed for that and grateful because most people dont get that opportunity until after thier loved one is deceased....been over a year since you been gone grandma and i still think about you everyday and everything reminds me of you....I know you wouldnt want me to morn ur death but im human and i miss you sooo much ......i dont ever want to leave my boys here on earth but when that day comes i get to come home i know you kinzy grandma mildred and grandoodles will be thier to greet me and reunite once again.....i could go on all day with my memories of this woman as im sure anyone she came across could but i will keep those with me .....rip. maw maw

Grandma Jeanie as I've known her all my life as. She was an amazing woman who loved everybody and everybody loved her. She was truly a blessing from God and he is one lucky man to have her in his kingdom now. She was always there to take "us" kids wherever we needed to be whether it was just to the store for candy or our friend's house. No matter what she was always there. She will definately be missed by many. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. Love all of you!! RIP and enjoy the start of a new life Grandma Jeanie!!!
