A LEGACY....

SWEET SWEET GRANNY ~ WHAT A LEGACY! THOUGH I DID NOT GET TO KNOW YOU AS PERSONALLY AS YOUR FAMILY DID, I WAS BLESSED IMMENSELY TO BE ALLOWED TO LOVE YOU AND BE LOVED IN RETURN THE PAST 4 YEARS SINCE I MARRIED YOUR GRANDSON! AND, TRULY A BLESSING YOU WERE. YOU LOVED ME LIKE YOUR OWN GRANDDAUGHTER, AT GET-TOGETHERS AT AUNT JANET'S YOU WOULD SIT BESIDE ME AND HOLD MY HAND TELLING ME HOW PRETTY I WAS AND HOW LUCKY LARRY WAS TO MARRY ME (YOU MADE ME BLUSH!). YOU LOVED AMANDA AS YOUR OWN, TOO. OH THE STORIES I HAVE HEARD OF YOU WISH I COULD HAVE GOTTEN TO KNOW YOU BETTER!
IT HAS BEEN SAID THAT A PERSON IS BORN "THIS" DATE AND ENTERS HEAVEN "THIS DATE...BUT IT'S THE DASH IN BETWEEN THAT LEAVES THE LEGACY. WHAT WAS YOUR DASH, SWEET SWEET GRANNY..
THIS PAST SATURDAY, WE CELEBRATED YOUR DASH IN A VERY PRECIOUS WAY. A "FORMAL" MEMORIAL SERVICE WAS NOT NECESSARY, BUT THE INFORMAL GATHERING WE HAD WAS ALL THE MORE PERTINENT. GRANNY, I GOT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT YOU, A LOT MORE ABOUT YOU. WHAT A WONDERFUL WOMAN YOU WERE AND ALWAYS WILL BE IN YOUR FAMILY'S HEART.
AS YOU ENTERED THE PEARLY GATES OF HEAVEN ON THAT SATURDAY MORNING, I CAN JUST IMAGINE JESUS SAYING, "WELL DONE, GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT"
...AND ONE MORE REQUEST...CAN I PLEASE HEAR YOU SING "FROGGY WENT A COURTIN' " I LOVE YOU...
