Go Tell it on the Mountain

Gram, where can I even begin? You have done so much for me. More than you will ever know. You always knew what to say. You always knew how to forgive. I can't even begin to express my gratitude towards you. You, along with many others you taught, have raised the whole clan you created. I am so thankful that you are no longer in pain. For that fact I'm glad you are gone, even though I wish I could have had a little more time with you. I wish you could have seen me walk down the aisle and marry the man that I love. I wish you could have been there when I had kids, so they would be able to experience you. Im going to miss you and all of you wonderful goofyness. You impacted my life far more than you would ever know. And I'm not the only one. You have touched the lives of so many people. Your impact reaches even beyond our family ties and from there it is untraceable. I believe you were one of the special people God sent down to show us the the there is always good in the world. You gave everyone hope and faith. Even in your darkest days, when most would turn their back to the Lord, you ran to him asking him where to turn next. You instilled in me that hope and faith, giving me a strong virtue and teaching me to always turn to God. You made each and everyone of us feel special, giving us memories that will last a lifetime. I don't think there is anyone on this earth that could compare to you. I hope I can do the same for my family as you have done for ours. You were truly a wonderful blessing that I will never forget. I'm glad you get to see gramps again and enjoy each other in your primes. Tell everyone up there I said hi. I love you Gram and I will never forget you. This isn't goodbye, it's see ya later alligator.  Go tell it on the mountain Gram.
