Bro. Jaxfam6,
What a lovely compliment! She was probably not over 5 ft. tall, but on
her knees she was "taller than trees" as the late governor of Louisiana used
to sing.
I was her was her first granddaughter, and was named after her,
following on the heels of my older brother by less than two years. What
a powerful influence she was in my life. She loved God and she loved her
family. She and her older sister was known in their small town as prayer
warriors. Her family knew this even more anyone else.
There are adults, that were children growing up when Grandma Lizzie
and Great-Aunt Lucy were alive, who have told me if it had not been
for those two sisters, there would not be a church here today. The
Apostolic Pentecostal church is the largest church in that small town
today. These two sisters prayed diligently for God to send good men
to help the pastor and the church. And that's exactly what He did.
Blessings,
