Sone of my most beautiful memories that come to mind when I sit back and reflect on my life include Gramma Betty. I remember family Holidays as a little girl Gramma surrounded by her loved ones sometimes playing cards. I remember one of the most vivid memories I have of loss being about 13 we were at a loved ones memorial service. I remember being so heartbroken and crying so hard I could hardly contain it I was about to go into hysterics and Gramma was right beside Me. She grabbed Me and hugged Me and said gently in that soft sweet voice "It's okay Bethy. It's okay." I calmed down and she just held me til it was over. I remember the day she met my first child (Cierra) she held her and patted her and said how precious she was. On that day She told Me she knew I'd be a good Mother. And I think we can all remember the first time she loaned us money she'd give us her speech on how she was like a bank we'd have good credit with her if we always paid her back. Lol. I remember having to move in with her when my kids were babies and she and Auntie Connie opened their Home to us for a few months. They introduced me to my favorite show Grey's Anatomy. ( I still watch it) I remember the first time she told me about her upbringing and life as a young woman. She knows was always there for her loved ones in whatever way she could be. It is my belief that she impacted so many of our lives in different ways without her we'd not be the same. She truly was quite a woman that Gramma. I know we will miss her everyday for the rest of our lives.
