My grandmother died this morning. We all called her "Nanny Howard" She was almost 93 years old and so ready to go meet her God. We rejoice in he victory over death and her new life in heaven. I know she is there because she had accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior and followed him all her life. She was always a good Christian example for her kids and grandkids. We knew what she believed and she was always ready to share her faith with others. She was a fun person, always ready for laughter and usually the instigator of trouble - even water fights! Nanny loved to cook and sew. She made us nightgowns, clothes, quilts, dolls, afghans and taught us to make them too. She loved to tell stories and always new the exact year something had taken place. I am thankful to have had such a loving grandmother for so many years.

Alba Howard was a Jewel. I loved visiting with her and listening to her stories - she had such pizzazz! Mother and Alba worked hard on so many sewing projects for church. She was a woman of strong faith and Christian commitment. You are so blessed to have had her in your life! I know you will miss her. You embody so much of both your grandmothers and your mother in your being. It shows well in you.
