My prayers go to the whole family. You all are in my heart and although I haven’t seen her in some time I will always remember Grandma Hagan, her spirit, and her love. I will never forget when I got the honor to interview her for my class project. You all were very lucky and envied to have such a wonderful woman in your lives and I feel very blessed to have had her in my life for the period of time that I did.
