My grandma, I call her mama was a sweet lady. She took care of me since I was very young and showed me how to cook, clean and gave me many lessons to be the person I am today.
I love sitting beside her and watch TV with her. I love her play by play commentary of what's happening on the show. I love just hearing how excited she gets when she tells me what happens that I didn't mind her giving away the plot of the show. Every time I went over to see her she would always offer me something to eat like a snack or junk food, its so sweet. Up to the last few weeks before she passed she was still offering me cheese chips when I went to see her.

My mama is so strong-willed and up to her last breath she held on while we all visited her at at the hospital. Even though she didn't have the strength she made sure she squeeze everyone's hands that visited her and nod her head for acknowledgement, She is such a beautiful person inside and out. I will forever miss her presence in my life.

I love you forever and always Mama.
XOXO
