"Phenomenonal woman. Easy going.. almost always happy. She didn't judge people and she welcomed everyone. She was a strong baptist Christian woman who believed that everyone was good. She would always try to feed you something when you walked in the door. She always asked how you were doing. She cared deeply and she helped anyone who needed help. She was my best friend all the years I had her in my life. She is a national treasure to me. I miss her everyday still and she's been gone almost 17 yrs. I can't say enough good things about her because she was the definition of good. I triple love you grandma. "
