Grandma Bryant




I have been having many sweet thoughts about my Grandma Bryant lately. I am heading to Snowflake this weekend for her funeral. My dad is my grandma for sure. She is such a quiet soft spoken warm person to be around. Would never want to offend anyone in any way. I remember traveling all the way from North Carolina to be with them for Christmas, probably about five or six years old, and I can still remember her sweet face and hugs being so excited to see you. She spoiled us for sure! Anything we wanted. That's what grandmas are made for right? We would always beg and beg to get to stay at Grandma's. I will always remember the smell of her house at breakfast, during summer, and all that she taught me. Geneology was such a big thing to her. And really I don't think that she was ever even well enough to get to see all the technology that has come about. As long as she could she would go to church with or without someone. She really had a strong testimony of families. It's neat to think of all those that she will be with. I remember last summer..previous post, but just for a small time that I was with her, I felt like she was her, and she just gave me that same beautiful smile, and hug, that would warm anyone's heart. I really hope that I can have that same effect on people, that leave you feeling so loved and adored, because it's the best feeling ever!!

I've been thinking about you since I found out about your grandma's death. She was a sweet woman...just like you are.

So sorry for your loss. Anna Fay was such a sweet and special lady! I grew up in the same ward as her and have many memories of her also. My thoughts are with your family at this time.
