I will always remember when Michelle & I would ride our bicycles to Granny's house during the summer & raid her freezer full of ice cream. She was always so sweet & I have enjoyed seeing her beautiful smile at Walmart throughout the years. I also remember a time years ago when she gave everyone a scare because we thought we lost her from a horse accident & I was just devastated because she was like family. I was so thankful that she made it through & had only broken her arm. She had a gentle yet unique voice that I will never forget. I cannot think about her without smiling. Thanks for the many smiles you brought to my face, Granny.
