A Few Things I Loved About My Gram
I am Iola's eldest granddaughter and this is what I spoke about during her memorial.
I loved:
Her Personality:
She was kind, funny and not afraid to speak her mind.....ever. She loved her grandchildren and we could do no wrong in her eyes.
I loved:
Her Spirit:
She was passionate, determinded and never gave up without a fight. My dad called her a "pocket rocket" for a reason.
My Favorite Meal:
Hands down....turkey with mashed potatoes and dressing with Gram's gravy. I stood by her side for years learning how to perfect this recipe and have passed it on to my friends and neighbors next generations.
My Favorite Gram Saying:
My Gram was always busy having a hard time just sitting down and relaxing. We used to say to her "Come sit down and rest Gram." Her response was always "Oh, I'll rest when I'm dead." Well Gram, after a long and fruitful life now you can finally rest.
We love you Gram and will miss you.
Until our next encounter..
Love,
Lizzie
