"Because THIS Is Not Goodbye!" The Lord needed your loving; empathetic soul; not knowing without you, I will never be whole; but that's okay... "Because THIS Is Not Goodbye!" I could count on you through thick and thin; I knew with you on my side I would always swim... "Because THIS Is Not Goodbye!" I know we all have our own destiny to fulfill; I just can't believe your death is real... "Because THIS Is Not Goodbye!" You've left a great legacy upon us - you've taught us the struggle, the love, and the blessing of being a strong Black woman. And I know you will continue to watch over US... "Because THIS Is Not Goodbye!" And now that you've gone I'm all alone an empty space is within me, even though in spirit you will always be very dear to me... "Because THIS Is Not Goodbye!" I wish you were here to conquer all my fears, to hug and to hold me and never let go, but you're not and I'm so distraught... "Because THIS Is Not Goodbye!" I will have to always remind myself your are in a pain free place, a worry free place, and a stress free place. I will be at that place one day, maybe not soon enough. You've always taught me to be tough and I know you're in heaven strutting your stuff. So I'm not going to cry, and this will never, never, never be "GOODBYE!" I love you Grandma, Na 'Shawnda Patrice Gaines Garrett Dolores G. Garrett "<-Ao fjsxion i oral exjsx (zonoxsd fox wfxat fiz xeceLueA. cJ~fonox (xas, IjeJz t(lE XEaraxdj~ox wfLit Iie cjl&es..
