In life, there are some leaders that have such a great impact on you that it changes who you are. Their influence goes beyond a single moment and lasts days, weeks, or years into the future. People that have this impact are very special. When you find someone that has that effect on you, it would be wise to pay close attention to the lessons they teach you and to savor the time you spend with with them.
I had a person like that in my life for 31 years of my life. That was my grandma, Doris Jones. If you are a regular follower of my website, you may have noticed that I haven’t posted much for the past month. The reason was that my grandma took a dive for the worst with her health and passed away on June 12, 2013. It has been a challenging time for my family and me, but also a time filled with family, love, and the sharing of great memories. My grandma was a great lady and one of my biggest heroes. As a tribute to her, the rest of this post is her obituary.
