    My grandmother left such a great big impact on my life. In a fallen world where people are easily swayed away Gods Truth. My Abuela always remained steadfast as a devout Christian in her love for God, and his people. It was not so much about what she said, but how she lived her life. I truly love my Abuela and forever grateful to God for placing her in my life.
