    My Grandmother Olira Faye was the most beautiful women I know. You gave selflessly to your children and Grandchildren. She was a country girl and never had much to her name. But a heart that was so full of love. She was the biggest brightest light you could ever have in your life. I wish she could live forever because she was loved by everyone who met her. She had the funniest sense of humor even up to her last days. The prettiest smile and I was proud to show her off to anyone who ever came around. I wouldn't exist if it wasn't for her. I hope you know how much I loved you up until your remaining days on earth. I love you and I miss you so much. Love your Granddaughter- Sherry Jennings 🙏🏻

    My heart goes out to your family. I am so sorry for your loss. What pain hurts worse than the pain of losing someone that you love? Though the pain you're feeling must seem unbearable, please remember that you are not alone. Psalms 46:1 says, "God is our refuge and strength, a help that is readily found in times of distress." Pray to Him for strength. Weep to Him when there are no words. One of the poets of the Bible said at Psalms 56:8, "You keep track of my wandering. Do collect my tears in your skin bottle." You see, God understands your pain and He cares for you very much (1 Peter 5:7). And He will really help you get through this difficult time (Isaiah 41:10).@gmail.com
