We had the pleasure of meeting "Granny" when we went to visit Ashley in Georgia a couple times. What a wonderful lady she was! She made sure we were well feed and her southern cooking was amazing! We have a picture of her standing in the creek behind her house that we will treasure forever. Our heart hurts for you all. You have truly lost a gem.
