It is an honor to be able to stand here today and be able to say a few words
about my grandmother, Rose. Rose was a mother and grandmother to everyone that
she came across. She cared for many people, including myself and my siblings.
After helping to raise her brothers and sisters, she then raised her own
children, and then her grandchildren.
My grandmother was an exceptional caregiver with an amazing amount of
patience. My grandma was not one to raise her voice, and I cannot recall ever
hearing her scream or holler. She was also not one to cuss. Instead, my
grandmother was a calm, sweet woman and a devout follower of our Lord, Jesus
Christ.
Every Sunday morning my grandmother faithfully put on her church clothes and
went to church. Prayers were always said before meals as well as before bed. My
grandmother found peace in religion. She believed that everything had a purpose,
and that the world was the way that it was supposed to be. She believed that
everything was a part of God’s plan. After church, she would always go home and
cook a delicious Sunday dinner.
My grandmother loved to cook, almost as much as loved to socialize. She would
invite practically half of the church congregation over to eat supper with her
and the rest of the family. That was my grandma. Her door was always open to
everyone.
When she wasn’t cooking or spending time with friends and family, grandma was
always going shopping. I have never met a women that loved to shop as much as
she did. Every weekend she always knew where the great sales were, and where the
best place to buy everything was. She was full of life in that way. Now,
although that life is gone, she will forever be full of life in hearts and our
memories.
Thank you all for coming today to show your love and support to one another,
including myself, and to show your respect for my grandmother. She was an
amazing woman, and will be missed by all of us.
