Peoria Hollin Scruggs Bolden 1916-1989

I am remembering my grandmother/mother today.
Peoria Hollin Scruggs Bolden
May 25, 1916 - October 11, 1989
I miss her smile, her laugh, her wisdom and the irregular heartbeat through her chest.
I miss her low-pitched voice, her three-textured long hair, and her amazing spirit.
Mama was a giver, a teacher, a debater, and a helper.
She could sew, cook, clean, sing, pray, read and write.
Mama loved all her children in their uniqueness and their individuality.
She loved her grandchildren, great-grandchildren, god-son, siblings, nieces, nephews & cousins too!
Mama was a true friend to many.
She was an amazing woman, wife, and mother.
She was a woman of God and not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
I don't miss her with sadness, I miss her presence and her wisdom.
I miss her biscuits and sweet-rolls too. I'm glad she's resting in peace with no pain and suffering.
I'm glad I knew her.... I know you are too!
