Goodbye Mamaw, I Love You

Monday Afternoon I lost my Grandmother whom I loved very dearly and Greatly miss her already, She was like a Mom to me, she was there for me through 40 years of my life and learning to live without her will be very difficult.
She left this world very suddenly and without pain which I am so very grateful for and I know she is in Heaven with our Lord and those who went before her.
