The warmth of Aunt Nettie's smile, the openness of her love of others and the infectious joy of her laughter will continue to remind each of us of the depth and beauty of God's love. Our prayers go to Keith, Janice, Joyce Lynette, Tracy, Loretta and their children in their loss. Yet when we gather as a family we brink little bits of each of our parents, aunts and uncles with us. How blessed we have been to have had the steadfastness of their love and guidance. Although Nettie was the last of the Granberry siblings, our blessings continue with the presents of Ailene, Keith and Marguerita.
