A Granddaughters Tribute
Everyone has a purpose and God has a purpose for everyone. Once your purpose is fulfilled you just simply go to sleep. Nana is a Christian and will live life for eternity. She has completed her purpose of a wonderful Godly grandmother, mother, sister, and friend. Her God wants her home!! I love you so much!!
