I struggled to write my part of the eulogy. I kept thinking “How can I sum up who my grandmother in a few words?” I can’t. There are too many memories to recount. She was the foundation of our small but growing family. She never missed a moment to tell you how many grandchildren and great grandchildren she had. She valued family and on many occasions would remind me to do the same. She made more sacrifices for her family than I can recall. A lot of my life lessons came from her. She taught me how to be a true friend - she was always there to support her friends. Even if it was through a simple phone call. She taught me how to stick up for myself - she would always say you have a mouth, speak! Mainly, I learned this because she would say “Do you think I’m gonna let any one walk all over me?” Kiss her teeth and follow up with “you must be crazy.” - her words not mine. Most importantly she taught me how to be selfless. She gave from her heart no matter what. Big or small - it didn’t matter - if she had it she gave it. When she had a cold or flu she would still do at least 90% of what she would usually do on a regular day, where if I was sick I would do 0%. I would tell her to forgot about what needs to be done and rest. She would always say one of two things - “never leave what you can do today for tomorrow” or her personal favourite reserved just for me - “if you had kids and husband you would have to get up.” That was my Gran. Not only was she the epitome of strength, sass and independence, she was always thinking of others. That was Louise. She was the first person I would call with good news or when I needed her guidance. Gran always knew what you needed which was either more time spent in prayer or her sound advice. She always gave the best advice and that will be one of the many things I miss about her. I’ll miss her singing along to gospel songs on Sunday mornings. Her and Scottie teasing each other and laughing. Her signature voicemails and her unbelievably delicious crab salad. If you had her crab salad, you know what I mean. Her stories, that of which she had plenty - and no matter how many times she told them always told them with the same enthusiasm, as if it was the first time she was telling you. My personal favourite was her asking me “where are your mittens kitten” on cold mornings. I could go on forever about the great moments spent with Gran. I’m sure all of you have your own special memories that you will continue to think of fondly whenever she comes to mind or someone mentions her name. I know all she would want is for us to remember her. To think of the good times we shared with her and to try to be like the fantastic woman she was. https://www.teashatrista.com/home daily 1.0 2025-03-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc58c39ea4a794d5664bd7b/67e7bc28-404e-4010-999a-47b01408ce5c/evie-s-_IpKsTK9gcE-unsplash.jpg Home - The light you see on the outside, Is not the candlelight you see on the inside. the external light is synthetic. it contains no real fire, no passion, no desire. come inside and I’ll show you true joy. the blaze is so bright you wonder, “can all this power come from a tiny flame?” when the heart is genuine, anything can be magnified tenfold. - Teasha Trista https://www.teashatrista.com/about daily 0.75 2025-03-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc58c39ea4a794d5664bd7b/31b9560d-f470-4f6e-a569-44ccde9496aa/1dade235-3cbd-4f23-b3e5-3496851d935a.png https://www.teashatrista.com/contact daily 0.75 2025-03-01 https://www.teashatrista.com/gratitude daily 0.75 2025-03-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc58c39ea4a794d5664bd7b/943df6e6-60e3-44ff-8989-08abab0e0c29/763b95b4-5386-459c-bee6-cb8cb7c61014.png https://www.teashatrista.com/little-words daily 0.75 2025-03-01
