Gramma this is Maan’s longest & dearest friend <3 Hard to believe I have known you for close to 20 years. I got to know you better when I started watching your Great Granddaughter Marquelle. We had a great summer together with the kids. I learned quite a bit from you and about you. My children and I enjoyed your company & the laughs we shared with Maans children. I am gonna have some great things to tell my children and family about the time spent with. Especially when we’d have our morning oatmeal together & coffee. I looked forward to it. Love you Grandma! I am happy you are able to rejoice and be with our Lord. I bet he is happy to have such a loving and hardworking beautiful lady like you to help keep things in order.
Sarra & Family 😇 💖. ðŸ™Â
