Alean Whitfield Program

T RIBUTES TO G RANNY When asked what is the difference between a grandmother and a granny I can tell you this Mrs Alean Whitfield you are my granny you taught me some of the best lessons in life,that I didn’t learn from anyone but you and that lesson is that family is everything. I get excited about the thought of coming to 3311 because that is where I saw family love in action, and I saw your Undying love for each one of your kids and grandkids. Now I’m sure each one of your grandkids will say that they are your favorite however you had an uncanny gift of making each one of us feel that way and that is a lesson that I have definitely taken with me. But now you and I know the truth wink wink. I will definitely miss you and I having our good old girlfriend conversation where we would talk about anything from your kids to your other grandkids to you sitting there talking about me to my face. I will miss the smell of bacon and coffee coming in the house, holidays and just the random pull up to granny texts from my cousins where we would just have no real agenda other than to come see you and be with each other. There was a void when my momma passed but this is definitely a whole that I can’t imagine how to move forward. You were where I would come to just lay in bed with you and say nothing but you knew what I needed and you would rub my head and kiss my head and that would make everything better. So to answer the question what is the difference between a grandmother and a granny when you look up the definition of granny your picture and the life you lived and the legacy you left is the definition #FamilyForever #WeAllWeGot #3311 #Whitfield -Tito Granny the news of your passing was very hard for me but it bought memories of you and I together…. I want to thank you for ALWAYS making sure I was never forgotten about. You always made me feel special like I was the only one in the room when I was with you and that was a special kind of love that only you posses. Rest easy and tell my momma, granny Mae and my sister hello and I love them. Love, Jedon To the Matriarch, thank you for leading this family. Thank you for providing us a place to sleep, a place to eat, a place to laugh, a place to learn, a place to grow. For memories we'll never forget, and times we wish could be repeated. Your mark is imprinted on each of our hearts, and that's something that will never be removed. May we always aspire to show love, compassion, and determination with the same heart that you did. And may we never forget the bonds you created in each of us...or that you can't have any ugly grandbabies Love you always Granny. Thank you for making the man I am today Robert Gipson II My great grandmother, whom my sister and I spent every weekend w as kids.. you were a part of molding us and looking after us and any child who needed your guidance or protection.. A staple in every life you touched, blood and water. A life completed as you return home to continue to watch over every last one of us. You fought strong, so rest now. We will all be together again one day… You Are Missed Already Beauty. “What is lovely never dies, but passes into another loveliness, star-dust or sea-foam, flower or winged air.” —Thomas Bailey Aldrich TAYLOR Hey Granny I will miss you so much!
