My Grandma is the Grandma every kid should have.
Our any desire she made happen wether it was a tea party, with treats and jewelry provided or hot gluing seed pods together to make ornaments. Whenever we were on vacation together she would tuck us in each night singing and rubbing our heads until we fell asleep.
She always advocated for us to do what we wanted to do and cheered us on the whole time. She came to our games or races she was there for all of our big life events.
My grandma is such a good friend she kept friends from all stages of her life and was always checking in with them. If there was ever anyone in need she was always the first to find something to do help. She often had extra kids in her home helping them through tough stages.
My Grandma is a problem solver. We would often find unique items used as rope or pillows made out of jackets but there wasn't a problem she wouldn't tackle. She was strong and tough and never let anything intimidate her.
As I grew I knew there was a lot about her I wanted to emulate, her faith and testimony inspired all those she shared it with and she was always willing to share it. She knew she was a daughter of God and had all the power that comes with that. She always made sure I knew that too.
My kids Momo.
as the great grandkids joined her family Grandma gave her self her own special name for them not to confuse her with their other Grandma's. My kids loved Momo as much as me, she loved snuggling with the babies
but her favorite was when they were 3 and she would want to talk to them, they loved being able to share all their thoughts with Momo she always listened to all their ideas.
One time she came to visit and wanted to see our new home, before she even walked in she tells me, "If your house is perfectly clean I will know you don't love your kids enough." It made me laugh and I have always been able to use it as a mantra my house is not perfectly clean because I love me kids.

When I was having a hard day, just worn down from the woes of life and motherhood I called her for a distraction. During the conversation I said, " Satan must be so happy with everything going on in the world." She immediately stopped me, "Jenny, Satan will never be happy. Christ has already won. We already know the end, Satan losses." I can't tell you how powerful that testimony was to me at that time, I hear her voice in my head still "Satan will never be happy. CHRIST already won."
The last time we got to see her we went to help with packing up her home as she transitioned to my Aunt Stacey's house. Jo got to spend some time with her earth side, Momo loved on her made noises to make her smile and kept her happy.
I will miss her, but I am so glad she is where she wants to be. Heaven is real.
