Grandmama, I am so proud to be your granddaughter. Your beauty, grace, and spirituality will live on in all of the lives you touched, and that number is immeasurable. You weren't just my Grandmama, you were my friend. I will cherish the memories I have with you and will continue to share them with your great-granddaughter. I loved our sleep-overs; I spent the night with you more than I did my friends growing up! Birthdays were always looked forward to because of our shopping trips. But it was never about buying things, it was about spending time with you and having so much fun. I knew an outfit was a good one because my Grandmama helped pick it out, and that gave me so much confidence. I loved going to church with you. You had such a great love of the Lord, and you let that love be known to everyone. You were proud to be a servant of Him, and you were a shining example of how to appreciate how awesome our God is. You made me feel so loved when you introduced me as your granddaughter and "namesake", and I will always strive to live up to your name. I promise I will live my life as you lived yours, with a loving heart, a gentle voice, and complete unselfishness. My comfort now is that you are finally with Papa. He has been waiting for his angel for so long. I miss you. I love you. Love, Tricia Louise
