An Ode To Grandma

Viola Holloway

Beloved Mother and Dearest Grandmother

Although small in stature, her heart held more love than anyone could even imagine. She lived for her family; for her kids. Always, that was her purpose in life. She fought many debilitating diseases in her lifetime; some that would have claimed the lives of much larger people than she. But she held on, and fought, always for her family.

We will always remember her for who she was. Devoted mother, who sacrificed everything of her own for the joy of her children. She never wanted for herself – she simply wanted her family to be happy. She will also be remembered as a beloved grandmother. Her kind heart was always a blessing to us. If ever we were in need, we knew she would always be there with a hug and a kiss.

We will miss her. She was our precious little angel here on earth. But now we may take comfort in knowing she is just where a precious little angel ought to be.

Words can not encompass the feelings I wish to convey. I miss her dearly, but I take comfort in knowing that she knows no more pain. She lived a life full of not only physical pain, but emotional too.

I love you, Grandma.
