The Guestbook at the funeral home shows what a witness to the world Granny was. You can go here to sign it if you haven't already. Her name is Beulah Gribble. I am amazed at the Granny Fans & bloggers that loved her so. If you want a blessing, go view it. I sure got one. Thank you.
Enjoy this video from Granny! Just click the arrow button.
This video is from Sept. of last year.(forgive my voice- this was our first video with Granny). I remember asking Granny if she would like to thank the bloggers for buying her quilts. She was so funny and asked me, "Do I talk to that picture taker?" I said, just talk to me Granny. At that time she talks of making baby quilts. I actually suggested it to give her a rest but she made 2 and went back to the bigger quilts. That was her love. You will also hear about Grannys first love in this video. The Lord is what she completely depended on. He is her first love. She told me over and over that everytime I sold a quilt for her that it made her want to get up and get going in the morning. It gave her hope!
So, from Granny and me.....we thank you.

Our thanks to you for sharing such a wonderful Godly woman with us. Many lives have been touched!
Your tribute to our Granny is wonderful, Beth. Thank you.
Love, Karen (your sister)
I remember this video Val...I still think she missed her calling as a Sitcom star.....wink.
I remember this video too. She was a wonderful woman. I am so happy that she got to make all those quilts for so many people, I know it made her so happy to do so. I am thrilled to be the owner of 2 of them and will always treasure them. I am tickled that I got to know her and love the friendship that you and I have formed. I know you will miss her forever, we all will, but I love thinking of her in Heaven!
I also recall that video. She surely was a special lady and I'm thinking her granddaughter is cut from the same mold (and that would be YOU, my dear).
Granny sure was such a sweetie. And now she is walking with her Jesus. Thanks for sharing the video again Valerie.
Sweet dear Val, I am so sorry about Granny. I had no idea she had passed. I have been sick and in the hospital and lost touch with blogger. My heart and prayers go out to you and your family. Everyone loved Granny and it is like losing a member of your own Family. My heart is breaking.I will cherish my quilts forever. I wish I had more. I know I am far away, but if there is anything I can do.....With lottsa of love, you are in my prayers Val. Linda
I love that video!! She loved her quilting! and you sound just like me in that video!! I was always going to buy one of Granny's quilts (they went fast)but put it off! Lesson learned. In her video Granny says she wants to be ready when the Lord comes...that is a nice reminder not to put off what needs to be done, what needs to be put right!! Thank You Granny!

What a sweet, sweet lady, Val! She definitely lives on through you. You are still in my prayers. Thank you for sharing Granny with us all!
Isn't it wonderful that you have these videos of Granny. And it is wonderful that you continue to share them with us. The memories will get you through the sadness.
Granny was a wonderful woman that was put on this earth by God....and now, she is with him!

My husband and I both sat and cried Valerie when Granny said she was waiting on God to come and get her. He surely did that for her...what a joy for her when He took her hand. blessings, marlene
granny was an inspiration, she always found something to keep her going and she finally got the Lord to come and take her, I'm sure she happy where she is now. Thank you for sharing her with us.
Oh it is good to hear her sweet voice again! What a saint of God she was, and she is now living with Jesus, which was her main goal in life.
I love this video, and I will remember how she said she loved the Lord and that sweet chuckle. I think she loved YOU just as much.
be blessed, and thank you so much for making Granny a part of our lives. We will miss her.
oh, i can't view it! :( i will have to have my husband get on here tomorrow and see what's wrong with my computer....i won't be happy until i see that video clip!
Thanks for sharing the wonderful inspiration that your Granny was. How wonderful that she was strong in her faith, spirit and spunk right up until the end. She touched my life even though I had never met her. Continuing to pray for all of you.
How precious! What a great memory to have of her......so blessed!
It was fun to see that video again and be reminded what we loved about her. Thank you again for sharing so much of your life with Granny.
Aww, I remember this video. You are so blessed to have her on video, Val. I have very few pics of my dad and would have loved to have video of him.
Val thank you for sharing,for giving us a glimpse into your life. What a blessing Ms.Beulah was to all who knew her. Seeing her, hearing her, on this video made me think so much of her Mother, Grandma Teasley. I remember as a young girl going to visit her. She always had a pile of quilts she was working on too. I was just a step-granddaughter, but she took me in her arms and loved me as if I was blood. My precious uncle Dewitt sang at her funeral, although he too is growing weaker with time. Funny how our family has enterwined all of my life. I can't believe that you and I have yet to meet. Maybe someday we can get together and reminisce. Your Grandmother was a precious person and my sister in law, Cindy , told me this week that Beulah was her first Sunday School teacher, who always acknowledged her, remembering her name, even these last few Sundays. The mark of a Godly woman is how brightly her light shines, leading others out of the darkness. If you look carefully you can see Granny's bright light off in the distance still shining its way into eternity.
Valerie...You have something so precious...Your grannys voice on tape...Now anytime you want to hear her voice, all you have to do is play this. I also watched the tribute video and I cried all the way through it. I have that same tulip quilt in my closet! I told you our grannys were so much alike! :)
