Do you remember about the Viral story of a Grandma texting a stranger about coming to Thanksgiving dinner?
It happened back in 2016, a teen shared a text that he got from a stranger. Jamal shared screenshots from a text message from Wanda. She told him when and where Thanksgiving was happening. They exchanged a few text messages and realized she had texted the wrong number. But he jokingly asked if he could still get a plate.
She responded with "Of course you can, That's what Grandma's Do...feed everyone!"
That's when Jamal and his family decided to surprise the family on Thanksgiving day and he would join them on Thanksgiving for a couple years after that!

Wanda, Jamal and their families started a new tradition but sadly this coming Thanksgiving will be very different for both families!
Sadly Wanda's husband Lonnie tested positive for Covid-19 and unfortunately lost his battle with the virus!
Wanda says of her late husband, "He had the truest heart of love, like no other. He did so many acts of kindness that no one ever heard about. He was my hero. And I’m a better person because of him."
Our hearts and prayers are with Wanda, Jamal and their families through this hard time!
