It’s hard putting all my granny’s good traits into writing. No matter how hard I try, I can never do justice to what she overcame in her lifetime. I know we grieve for we all lost a great lady. But I know wherever she is now she’s happy and contented with what she left us.

She was a mother, a sister and a friend to all of us. I’m sure a lot of persons lives have been touched by my granny. She shared a lot of good memories, especially with me, her grandchild. We shared lots of things together and she was my favourite mentor. I don’t know if I can still be the same person I was now that she’s gone.
My granny was a very strong woman. Maybe that’s one quality I got from her. She was also a very good adviser. I personally would seek her advice before I’d go to my mother. We always had talks. She was the kind of person that would think about other people before herself. She never liked asking for help but she was always ready to lend a helping hand to others. She would do everything in her power to help other people.

I think in her own way she was able to show us how important we all were to her. We may no longer see her but we’ll always have these special moments we shared with her. She will always have a special part in our hearts. Let’s just be thankful that we knew a special lady like my granny Evelyn.

By the way, Granny I thank you for the two beatings you gave me cause I know somewhere along the line the lesson I learned from the two beatings saved me and when you died I cried like a baby, I begged the Lord to take me cause no one else could give me what you gave me but life like everything comes to an end.
I pray I go to heaven to see you again - amen
