(his Mom's Mom) took the hand of Jesus
and went to her eternal home.
celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary
in September!!!
Grandmother was known for her cooking
and baking. She was famous for her
cake, squash casserole and biscuits & gravy.
Here is a cute one on Grandmother and
Mrs. Crim.
Grandmother made beautiful quilts--she blessed
each of her 3 great granddaughters with
these pretty quilts that they brought with them
to her funeral.
The night before her burial a Memorial
Service was held for her at their church in
Rome, Ga. It was an awesome experience.
You could truly feel the presence of the Lord
in the room. Although Granddaddy missed her
terribly-- he put his sorrow to the side and he made
the whole night about praising Jesus and bringing Him
glory. The songs were joyful and uplifting-- celebrating
the fact that his bride was in Heaven with her Savior!
There was a full choir there singing songs like
"I'll Fly Away" and "We'll Be Happy Over There"....
we all sang and clapped--- Granddaddy lifted
his hands the whole time and even danced!
At the graveside service they sang
a capella "Victory In Jesus"....
one of the lines says
"I heard about a mansion
He has built for me in Glory.
And I heard about the streets of gold
beyond the crystal sea,
About the angels singing
and the old redemption story
and some sweet day I'll sing up there
The song of Victory."
