GrandcTribhuteilbdy ren None of us ever thought we would be writing a tribute any time soon, Grandma. But we all know that death is inevitable, and this time around, death took you away from us. Our grandmother, we affectionately called \"Auntie\", was a great woman, loved and adored by all. As our grandmother, she always had high hopes for each and every one of us, even those unborn. Grandma played a major role in uniting our family, making sure everyone was on the right track and always welcoming everyone with open arms. You were our pillar of support and always gave us the strength to tackle our worries. We sought refuge from you, every time our parents disciplined us, and you would rebuke them instead of us. Oh! Grandma, leaving us at this stage of our lives has left an undeniable void in our hearts. We still have lots of questions to ask and lots to tell you. It is impossible to overstate the influence you have had on every one of your grandkids. Although you died before we could finish our adventures, we promise to complete them all and keep you smiling up there in heaven. Dearest Grandma, you kept us close to your heart and told us we are your pride. For that, we are forever grateful. Being loved by you is the best we could ever ask for. You cherished memories so much that, we would bolt towards you whenever you promised to tell us tales of your youthful days. Though you went through tough times, you stayed strong and encouraged us. There is no way the universe could not have noticed how much you endured all the pains and sufferings alone. All these and other virtues you have instilled in us. Grandmother, your legacy is forever inscribed on our hearts and in our minds. You have fought a good fight. It's time for you to take a rest. May you find rest in our dear Lord's bosom.
