This is me and one of the most amazing women in my life, my great grandmother Lois Bell Crowder. Great Granny as I refered to her as, passed away this last Saturday night in her sleep at the ripe old age of 93. This women was such an inspiration to me for a long time because of her hard life growing up and also living in a nursing home happily under tough circumstances for many years.

There are things that in her life were everyday routines that I hope that I can strive to become. This woman was humorous, no matter what the situation was. She was always willing to joke around when my awkward family brought major awkward moments. It was always awesome.

Not only was her life an inspiration but her witness. I find myself finding it hard to witness sometimes because of situations I am in and worrying about what people will think, but this woman witnessed right up to the last night of her life. She helped to bring one of her new nurses to Christ the night that she passed.

So many things in her life were unacclaimed because of the situations she grew up in and the tough life she led but I am glad to honor her life this week and I hope to be more like her in my life.
