I love you Grandma Whittall

My Great-Grandma Whittall past away last week. She was a wonderful lady that everyone loved. She did so much good for this world. The world is a better place because she was in it and taught many people how to love and treat others. She was the cornerstone of our family. I will miss her dearly. Everyday when I look at my daughter and call her by name, I will be reminded of my great-grandmother....Anah May is so much like her, not only in her name, but Anah is very strong and stubborn just as Grandma Whittall was, up to the very end. Now Grandma is singing God's praises in Heaven with our other loved ones that have passed and she will be waiting to see us when it is our time. I love you Grandma!
