Yakkity yak, don’t talk back.
4 May
Today I buried my grandmother. She died April 28th. It was a hard and long day and I couldn’t get through it with out the support of my family and friends. Dupree suggested I talk about why my grandma was so special since he had never met her. Here it goes. I think I’m going to make a list since that is the easiest way.
1.Grandma would do anything she could for anyone she knew.
2.She was a wonderful cook, everyone usually got a special meal for their birthday of their favorite foods
3.She would call weekly just to check up on me and see how I was doing
4.When I was little we would play Uno and still played even when I was older.
5. Family was very important to her. She talked to her sisters in Mississippi every day and she always kept in touch with people.
6.She would still ask about how people were doing that I went to high school with and whom she had met only once.
7.She’s probably the only person on earth that I knew truly liked everyone. She never said a bad thing about anyone.
8.I loved to hear my grandma sing. She would sing in church all the time. On our birthday’s she would call and sing to us.
9.She loved the food network. She was always telling me the newest shows and having mom download some recipe she saw on Paula Deene’s show.
10.She was very supportive no matter what.
There are tons more reasons why grandma was so special to me. I thought I would stop at 10 as to not go on and on.
I will miss her very much!

When she called and I answered the phone she’d always say “hi baby!” and “thanks sweetie.” Grandma Tina took care of everyone.
Zandra – We are thinking of you and your family and praying for you all.
Zandra — I’m so sorry for your loss. I know how it is . . . I lost two grandparents in the past 9 months. My wishes to your and your family.
BTW, Tina is the best grandma name EVAH.
I feel your pain, Zandra, my grandma died 4.5 years ago suddenly and she was the only real parent I ever had. I still feel a pang for her absence every day. I wish I would have made a list like you did. She sounds like she was a really cool lady. I’ll be thinking about you, If you ever need somewhat to chat with about it, look me up.
Z,
Amy and I are also very sorry for your loss. Your grandma sounds like a wonderful person…
Thank you all!
I’m very sorry for your loss.
That was a very nice tribute, Zandra.
