Today, we say goodbye to an incredible woman—our grandmother, our beloved Ga! She was tough as nails, shaped by a life that gave her more than her share of hardship, but through it all, she remained strong, loving and deeply devoted to her family. That love was her anchor and her strength; we were what kept her going, and she never let us forget how much we meant to her. Her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren were her pride and joy. We were not just part of her life—we *were* her life.

Life didn’t always come easy to her, but she met every challenge with strength and remarkable resilience. She was tough, no doubt about that. She didn’t back down when life got hard. Beneath that strength was a heart full of love—especially for her family. We were her pride, her joy, and her reason for pressing forward, even on the hardest days. Her love held us together. Her stories, her laughter, her wisdom—those things filled our lives with warmth and meaning.

Despite everything she endured, our grandmother created a life full of warmth and beautiful memories. She gave us more than just love—she gave us a legacy of kindness, strength, and the reminder that family is everything.

Her love was a gift we were lucky to receive—a love that shaped who we are and will echo in our hearts for the rest of our lives and our children’s lives. We will carry her with us in the way we love our own families, in the way we gather together, and in the quiet courage we find when life gets hard.

Ga, thank you for your love, your wisdom, and your enduring spirit. We will miss you deeply, but we will honor you in the way you taught us to live—with love and family at the center of everything. We will miss you more than words can express, but we carry your spirit in our hearts forever.

Rest peacefully, surrounded by the love you so freely gave.
