Grandmother, whom I adored ever so much No longer here on earth, but in the heavens above Oh how I'll miss your smile and your laughter so big and full of life. Now you sore in the sky you're an angel so high You are now with our maker; tell me what is he like? Are your day's filled with song and praise, do you sway to the music that angel harps play? Grandmother, whom I adored ever so much How you will be missed, but never forgotten I shall remember your scent, your voice and your every feature. After all you were one of my teachers You've taught me so much and so many life lessons Grandmother, whom I adored ever so much Rest now; ever so peaceful in the heavens above Granny, we miss you so much! It hurts so bad but i know you are in a better place. We love you.... until next time granny. Love : Felicia,Melia,Isaiah, Kadijah, Kyra, Ej and Eric
