Shirley Ann Crawford

My grandma was an incredible and remarkable woman. Nana, you were so much greater and honorable than words can describe..

You never held a grudge, you always forgave.... You always gave people a second chance and held no judgement. You were selfless, faithful, and loving. You took everyone in. 

You were the greatest caretaker in the world. You adored babies and children and taught everyone how to be a wonderful mother and woman. You loved being a grandmother and giving to others. You gave everyone attention and affection. 

You were fiercely loyal and devoted to your family. 
Your religion was by default, Christianity, your children, and grandchildren were your only priority. You never changed. You were always consistent and genuine. You always had your children's and grandchildren's backs. 

You taught us strength, courage, integrity, and moral character. You were only thinking of others, never yourself.

You always had the best intentions for others and you gave everything your all. There was zero ill-will in your actions.

You made everyone feel included and important. You never played favorites with your children and grandchildren and you never shut anyone out. You never judged anyone. If I can become even half of the mother and grandmother you were, I've made it. If there was any way I could show my gratitude for you, it's to carry your legacy in being the fair and wonderful and loving mother to my children, as you were. 

I love you always, you are forever alive in my heart and memories, and I'm so thankful to have made you a grandmother. Your engrained in my mind, soul, heart, and spirit for life.

It was not goodbye forever, and I'll always be your little girl.

I love you,

Kaila Baron
