From Grandma
Remember the letter I told you that my grandmother wrote for her funeral?
Here it is... it's beautiful:
On This Day: the Celebration of my Eternal Life
Things I would like Remembered
Because I had a special Love for my Children, there is nothing I wouldn’t do for you. My Brothers and Sisters were the best I could have ever hoped for. I had a wonderful childhood. My growing up years were some of the best times in my life. We as children always had chores to do. We had our share of scuffles, mama usually took good care of those. As you know Daddy didn’t whip or spank too often. We were a loving had working family. We chose to sing songs to make our chores or whatever to get done faster. We sang all of the way to school and back home. We played games.

To my children: I am so proud of all of you. I know your Daddy would have been really proud of you had he lived to see all of your accomplishments. You all had to work so very hard in your childhood days. I look back now and I see just what has caused you all to advance and achieve the goals and careers you are in today. I want you to know I love and appreciate you for all the love you have all returned to me in my latter years after your Daddy passed away. I knew all I had left were my kids. I have held on to your love for 31 years now. I remember all of the fun times we had while you were growing up. We all had to pull our share of the work and most of the time then some. But we made it. I am so glad you all have the love for one another that you have. I want you to promise that you all will keep that love strong for the rest of your lives. Love will never fail you. Love will keep you strong. Love will see you through good, bad, hard, and easy times. Even through this day. I know it will be hard. Just remember I Love you! Most of all God Loves You! To my extended Daughters & Sons, I have tried to show my unbiased love and affection to you never to show partiality. My children chose great mates to have their children with. All 18 of you are the “GREATEST NEST OF CHILDREN A MOM COULD HAVE” I want to tell you about a group of grandchildren; 58 TO BE EXACT. You all know just how much grandma loves you. Remember I have told you so many times, and my Love for you had not nor will it ever change. It will just continue to grow stronger. Take this as if I were telling each of you individually by Name I Love You.
To my family and friends I want you to know how Much I Loved the Lord. How I want to see everyone in my family in Heaven one of these days. Some of the Songs I have chosen for today are for each of you to Remember me by. I want you all to know that I love you with all my Heart. I have always tried to share my Love with you. I don’t want you to weep over me. I want you to Rejoice With Me Because My Name was written down if The book of Life. So you know where I will spend Eternity.
I want you to know that “I’d Rather Have Jesus”. Than any of the pain and suffering I have had the past few years of my life. Tha I am “Sheltered Safe within the arms Of our God”. That I am in his “Green Pastures”. That “My Precious Lord has Taken My Hand”. “Oh and MY! My! My1 “What A Day” This is I’m having Here with your Daddy. My Daddy & Mama, My 4 Brothers (Wm F. I call him, some of you called him “Bill” others “Uncle Buddy”) “Jimmy”, “Claude” & Tommy. We have been catching up on all they have done before I got here. And Oh! “My Little Sister Tootsie”. We are singing all over Heaven. You know how we love to sing. Our voices well My! My! My! You will have to make reservations so you can hear us. “We all have new Bodies” (OH There Fit and Trim Light as a Feather) All of my Family is here they have been waiting for me! Because they Knew There “Aint No Grave Gonna Hold OUR Body Down”. “Just wait till you see my brand new Home” OH! Guess what it is true “Jesus was the First Face I saw when I left My Life on Earth” Oh, How Beautiful Heaven is! I want to see you one day here with me! (Mom, Grandma Renigar, Sister Renigar, Cousin, or Friend)
Because I LOVE YOU Remember:
I’ll see you later I Love you!
P.S. The Feast The Lord had prepared for me is even better that all for the family reunions, Christmas’, Thanksgiving and so on you can ever imagine. I know you will be eating there today. So every bite you take imagine you are here eating the fine feast the THE LORD HIMSELF PREPARED JUST FOR ME! CAN YOU IMAGINE ME!!!!!!!!!
Yes and He will do the same for you! ou have to allow him to! You have to accept him!
Love, Mom
