This morning at 3:00 a.m., my dear, sweet beloved grandma Betty passed away. I am so torn, because I am glad she is not suffering anymore but am so sad that she is not here with us anymore.
I have never known such an extraordinary woman before. My grandma was the epitomy of independance. She was a successful business woman in her antique business she ran, she was also an amazing doll-maker. She would make porcelain dolls from scratch. From pouring the molds for the dolls, to baking them in the kilns, to painting their faces, to making their elaborate outfits.
Grandma was also a fighter. She always stood up for what she felt was right, but also for anyone who might try to do her loved ones wrong.
A lot of us in the family joke about Grandma's bull whip. I can think of more than one occasion that she pulled out her trusty whip in order to protect a child's/grandchild's honor.
Grandma - where ever you are tonight, please know how much we all loved and cherished you. You were the best role model a granddaugter could've had. I admired you and loved you more than I even begin to express in words.
I know in my heart, that you and Mom are together now, and are in peace. I know that you are with Jesus and that he is going to be sure that in the end, we are all together again.
Love always and forever yours, your Leo and granddaughter, Janda.
