Unfortunately, the most amazing, wonderful, beautiful, intellifent and kind woman that I know, passed away. She was an inspiration to me and gave me life lessons that I will cherish close to my heart forever. She consistently saw the good in people and reminded me to stop and cherish the flicker of beauty that life can show you every single day, because if you don't, you can miss the opportunity to experience pure joy, even for just an instant. She was a pilliar of strength that everyone leaned on from time to time and she watched over us all, even if we didn't know it. Consistenly referred to as a "living angel," she will be very missed and has touched anyone who has ever met her.
My Grandmother, Violet Waters, was my role model, my inspiration, and one of my favortie people on the face of this Earth. It is painful for me to know that she is gone, but my hope is that her spirit and strength will live on with me forever. She always made you feel great when you were around her, and I know now that after suffering through so much, she will finally be in peace.
The following poem is in memory of her and was something that she recited from time to time. It was her way to say that she was watching over you. It will always hold a special place in my heart.
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.
