"Miss Daisy" my friend and awesome neighbor, you will be missed for many years to come. I will always remember our fun times having drinks, listing to motown music and seeing you shake a leg in my garage. Your infectious smile and fancy style is planted in my mind. Especially when I'd see you strolling across the street to my house with animal prints and shiney shoes on, beautiful eyelashes and on special days a great hat, what a fashionista! Not sure where you were headed but it didn't matter because you were proud to feel and look good. Besides, you never left my house so maybe that was your destination. One thing for sure is that you loved a garage sale. When you peered out your kitchen window and seen a sale, I knew I would soon see you saunter across the street to pick out a favorite item(s) and immediately rush it home. Then minutes later you'd return to boast about your grandson Elija and his acceptance to college and how one day you would see him graduate (and Yes he did indeed!). I'm greatful you witnessed his diploma near your last days. After all, it was one pivotal moment in your life that you strived to see. You can be proud that you raised a wonderful child and an even better man. There will be many more days you can watch his growth from above as I know you will always be watching over all of us. Your family was your pride and joy. I will endeavor to match your traits of strength, hope, love and faith in the Lord. Enjoy your days in Paradise my friend, we will meet again!
