Grandma, thank you for being the most beautiful woman that we knew, inside and out. Your generosity and love towards us is priceless. We still can’t believe that you are gone. But we praise God, because we know that you are in heaven making God smile. We are so grateful that He allowed us to be in your life. You truly are a Proverbs 31 woman!
Although we miss you deeply, we are so grateful that you have filled our hearts with so many wonderful memories. Like how you were there every second when Jeremiah was born. You absolutely loved it when he used to do an army crawl into your room. I would try to go get him, but you would stop me because you absolutely loved having him and Z in your room. I also remember all those car rides from your job. You would have us cracking up with countless stories of how your day went.
We loved spending time with the kindest woman in the world. Thank you for always being there for us! We love you! We miss you.

The True definition of LOVE… since as little as 3 or 4, I can remember you took 3 little bad kids in and never let us go…Never made us feel like we didn’t belong…. From your banana pudding to pressing iron in the kitchen. Love was always shown. So much more than words. True actions is what you have always displayed to us Gma.. No one will ever love us like you did, teach us what you did, sit and laugh with us like you did… No blood connection but a TRUE LOVE CONNECTION…. which makes the definition of love so much more to me. You will always be missed… No more pain, no more suffering… On to your wings and our personal Angel!!!! Rest in Heaven Gma….. love you bunches, your one and only baby girl…..Claudia Jaye
