Order of Service “My Heartbeat” The day God called you home, granny you took half of me. I prayed so hard to be strong granny, right now I’m just so weak. I’m crying day in and day out missing your face, voice, and touch. They tell me to be strong, but how can I live without My Heartbeat. You were always real and showed me the purest tough love; gave me kisses with your heart and your eyes gave me hugs, laughs and jokes with you. I’m sure gonna miss. If I could bring you back that would be my wish. My love for “Granny Granny” run so deep, they tell me to be strong, but how can I live without. My Heartbeat.
