When you look up the word "Matriarch in the dictionary, the word means "A woman who rules or dominates a family", or "A mother who is head and ruler of her family and descendants"
Grandmaw had the instincts of nurturing, the aura of knowledge and wisdom, and the patience to be the mother of more than just her immediate offspring. The first day I met her 17 years ago, she told me I was special and she loved me! She treated me better than I had ever been treated before by a stranger. The life lessons that me and my wife learned from spending countless hours talking with her and looking through her church bulletins and poems will be something I will cherish for the rest of my Life. What I miss the most is her Smile As she slips you a mini bible in your pocket! Matriarchs rule not by threats, or by power, or money. They rule by love, and honesty, and trust. These are qualities that arent so common these days and Grandmaw was the Perfect Matriarch! Until we meet again, Love you!
