John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.”

My great-grandma will be forever loved. I know she will always be watching over me and my entire family. She was the glue that kept the whole family together and while it is hard to let her go, I know she is not gone.

I’d like to share some of the great memories I have with my great-grandma. I remember going over to her house every Sunday for dinner for as long as I can remember. Her favourites were always pancakes, KFC and liver. Sometimes we would play games when we were younger; Yahtzee was always a favourite. Sometimes we would watch a movie after dinner. I can’t even count how many times we watched The King and I or An Affair to Remember.

Everyone loved her baking. Her butter tarts were amazing, as were her lemon pies. Even when I moved away to go to school, she would make me a lemon pie every time I would come home to visit because she knew it was my favourite. You could always count on there being cookies in the kitchen no matter when you showed up to her house.

At almost 98 years old, she lived a long and great life. She saw grand-children, great-grandchildren and even recently a great-great-grandchild. How amazing is it that she got to live to see such a big and wonderful family.  She was always such a strong person. I’ve written many papers in school on her and how strong and remarkable of a person she was.

Everyone will miss you dearly, but you will never be forgotten.
