Life is a gift from God. Our children, family, friends, neighbors, and strangers are all gifts to be savored. Although some days may be full of hardship and sadness, each breath, heartbeat, and thought illustrates the beautiful gift of life.

Viola Graham was my grandmother. She did all the things a mother would do as well. She made so many opportunities to check on me during her busy schedule to see that I had a proper meal and was ok. She was entirely selfless. She would drop everything to come and help me when I needed it. She would never ask for anything in return. Viola Graham showed me what family is all about. No matter what she always tried to keep family united. Every person she met felt something good came from her. I saw her touch many hearts. I have faith that I will see her again when the earth is renewed.
“He will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”

Viola was a strong and generous woman that held the family together through everything. Her strength was powered by the most gentle and deeply caring heart. She never held back the love and kindness that shone and radiated to everyone around her. No doubt her wisdom and advice have helped all of us to learn and grow into who we are today. And from here on, there will never be any who can replace viola and the positive effects she left. As hard as it was to see her go, and as difficult it will be for us all to move forward, I know it won't be long before we see Viola again. In a world where sickness and death are no more on the earth ♥️ ♥️ ♥️
