"I planned this six months ago to come here for such an occasion," Mrs Green said.
"I spoke with my grandmother when I booked my flights and let her know I was coming home.
"I feel so blessed to have to opportunity to be here today and to celebrate her life.
"I'm so lucky to still have my grandmother, but my children, Tiffany and Preston are lucky to have a great grandmother as well."
