This is what I wrote to be read by my Mom at my Great Granny's funeral. I wanted to share it so that you could maybe understand what an amazing woman she was.
"In my eyes, my Great Granny was everything a woman should be. She was steadfast and committed to her beliefs. She was a faithful and loyal wife. She was a loving and guiding mother, Grandmother, and Great-Grandmother.
But, to me, one of the greatest legacies Great Granny left behind lies in my Dad. My Dad certainly wouldn’t be the man he is today without Great Granny’s guidance, support, instruction, and love. It is because of her that I have my family, one of the greatest sources of strength and love in my life, and for that, I am eternally grateful to her.
I know that Great Granny is now in a place where she feels no pain and has absolutely no limitations. She is with Great Granddad, the true love of her life, and I feel blessed to have both of them watching over me and my family. I can only hope that I become even half the woman she was, and leave behind a legacy comparable to hers. That would no doubt mean that I lived a great life, just as Great Granny did."
