Ecclesiastes 3:1-4 tells us “For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven. A time to be born, and a time to die: a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to kill and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance”. Granny, you would be happy to know that when Brandy told Elliana that you had gone to heaven to be with Jesus, her eyes got big, and she said, “she has a new body now!”.
Granny, your children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and close friends will miss you. God blessed you with 95 years here on earth.
