It was one of the greatest honors of my life to perform my grandmother’s funeral. On top of that, I shared the stage with her pastor who just happened to be my children’s pastor when growing up. I had been thinking about what I would say all week. I knew it would be very emotional, but I’m so glad I had the opportunity to speak. My brother Gene played Amazing Grace on the piano. I know that she was honored as it is exactly what she wanted.
It was such a treat to be surrounded by family and friends who loved mama so much.
In the coming weeks, I plan to post a little about the amazing woman my grandmother was.
