My husband I went to church at Georgian hills baptist with sweet Ailene. I was so sorry to hear about her passing today. May God comfort you in this time of grief.

My grandmother was the best person I know! She is my hero and always will be even while she is in heaven! She taught me so much in life and to fight when I had lost my will to live! She was and is the most wonderful woman!
