This week sucked..burying my only Grandma I had left was hard..but seeing that I have so many cousins and family that I didn't know of was lovely!! Although i can't remember meeting my grandmas brother when I saw him 😳 I saw my little brother in older form he looked so much like my dad and brother it was mind blowing!!!💙💚I wish I had beautiful stories to tell of my grandma but my dad was in the military so we moved so much I wasn't able to spend much of my time with her growing up but the times i spent with her I remember going to church alternating between her church and my Maw Maw church, I remember my grandma making the best Sunday dinners, and the best chocolate cakes!!! I remember her contagious smile, and her contagious laugh!! I remember how much she loved Mya and my twins!! I remember her just agreeing with me whenever I talked about Amiyahs softball, knowing damn well she didn't know what I was talking about lol!! I miss you Grandma Willie Mae, and I know your with Chanz my heart hurts and aches all over again..the things I would've done differently I love you and I hope you know that!!!

"The Lord is close to the broken-hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. The Lord will rescue his servants; no-one who takes refuge in him will be condemned." ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭34‬:‭18‬, ‭22‬ ‭

Such a sweet lady. I loved her. She was a close friend of my sister-in-law, Carolyn Jeffries, that is how I came and know and love her. A quiet and gentle spirit that many should seek to emulate. I'm praying for her children and family. God bless you all.

My Dear Sweet Mom.. It's hard to imagine life without you. I'm going to miss you my dear sweet lady. I remember the last time conversation I had with you, you told me that you loved me. I responded back I love you too mom not knowing that would be the last time I heard those words from you.You will forever have a special place in my heart and I will cherish you forever.I love you Mom! Your baby girl (Vickey Ann)

I wish I had a magic wand to bring back time and spend one last hour with you to hug you and to thank you for everything, to say my proper goodbyes. If only I had done all that before you left, maybe the pain would be less unbearable. So to you grandma, I say thank you. Thank you for being the incredible woman you were. I'm so thankful to have had the connection we did .But I know you're always there, and you will always guide me and protect me. I love you, and I am sure we'd meet someday in another world! — Your ever grateful granddaughter Reshannon Patterson
