Charles, Jr. Pastor-Teacher Recessional Grann;y was one of the people that changed my life dramatically. She taught me that with hard work: determination, ambition, and a lot faith will take you far in life. She told me to love and respect elders, fiiends, co-workers, enemies, myself, and GOD. Regrettably, I didnt tell her I love you enough before she left. The last thing she said was when 1 get into Stanton, I should give her a call and tell her. I found out I made it, but it was too late. Although I miss her. Im glad that she is at peace and with the LORD. She loved everyone no matter what. Im glad she was my granny. -By: James My grandmother was always special to me; we would laugh and talk one anothers ears off about whatever ive wanted. She would support me during my time in school and during my mission trips. She was so proud of me and my brother. People who I have never met knew all about me through my grandmother.
