On January 13th my dear grandma passed away in Brazil. Her name was Odcira. She was the only grandparent I had alive. It's sad because she was living very far away, in the north of Brazil, and most of our family members hadn't seen her in quite a while, including my mom. I'm sure she knows how much we love her and how much we appreciate all she did for her family despite the distance. She raised all of her 8 children on her own and lived a wonderful and righteous life. I will be forever grateful for her teaching me the gospel. If it wasn't for her I would not be a member of the Church. She was an example for me of faith, righteousness and prayer. She was constantly singing hymns and reading the scriptures. I don't have many memories of my childhood, but the ones I have I hope to keep them with me forever. This is a picture of my grandma and my mom walking in downtown Rio. My mom said that shortly after this picture was taken they both fell on the ground and it was really funny. She said that they were just having a fun afternoon together.
Vozinha, rest in peace till we meet again...I love you!!
