SHE DEPICTED THE EXACT MEANING OF THE TERM "GRAND...MOTHER”; SHE WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND THE ORDINARY. JULIAN WAS GRANDMA’S ALL! SHE TAUGHT HIM TO PRAY, TO BE RESPECTFUL, AND SHOWED HIM UNCONDITIONAL LOVE AND ADMIRATION. SHE GOT HIM READY FOR SCHOOL AND HELPED HIM WITH HIS HOMEWORK. SHE GAVE HIM HIS BATH AND WASHED HIS CLOTHES; AND SHE PLAYED WITH HIM WHILE HIS MOTHER WAS AT WORK. SHE READ HIM STORIES AND SUNG HIM SWEET LULLABIES WITH HER SOOTH- ING VOICE. JULIAN KNEW NO WORRIES AND HAD NO FEARS CAUSE HIS GRANDMOTHER WAS ALWAYS NEAR... PRECEDING DARNELL IN DEATH WERE HER PARENTS EUGENE AND JULIA Kate Hupson. On October 24, 2008, NEARLY 31 YEARS TO THE DAY SHE BROUGHT HER FIRST CHILD IN THIS WORLD, SHE DIDN’T END THIS JOURNEY ALONE, SHE LEFT HERE WITH TWO ANGELS UNDER HER WINGS AND TOGETHER THEY WENT ON TO THEIR HEAVENLY HOME, SOME WHERE BEYOND THE CLOUDS...
