A Letter to my Favorite Lady, You leaving me to soon was a thought beyond what I could have ever imagined. However, our time here on earth is not everlasting. I understand that it was God’s will for you to leave when you did. So I accept his plan, as you have served your purpose. So, I allow it to be so. I thank God that he chose you to be my mommy. I thank God that I was able to call you mama. Being a mother is not for the faint and your strength was the epitome of the gift of motherhood. You did it with such grace and style. I could not have asked for a greater mother. You loved me unconditionally mama and I am forever grateful. Thank you for always being there for me and my children. Through the good times and the bad times you were always there for us. You never told me no but you always made a way when I needed you most. You were a special person because not everyone is given the gift of giving. You gave in so many ways and it was always in the spirit of love. That’s what I loved most about you. We have beautiful memories that I will forever cherish. I will never forget your smile, your voice, or your famous walk. I miss you immensely already but there will be a day that I too will join you in the presence of our Lord. Until then please give God a lot of hugs and kisses for me!

Thank you for being the one of the most significant people to me. You were by far the most influential woman of my life. I love you, I love you, I love you mama so very much. Your Daughter, Lashunda

Mama words can’t express the love I have for you. I was definitely apart of “mamas baby” crew. My heart is broken and I will forever miss you. I thank God for blessing you to be my mother. I thank you for your support and everything that you have ever done for the kids and I. I will forever cherish our

memories and remember all your life lessons you instilled in me growing up. Every trial I went through, you had a Bible verse for me reminding me who I am and that it’s God’s Will not mine. That I’m here on earth to serve God’s purpose only, that every battle isn’t worth fighting, with the strength of God I can do anything, and the vengeance is the Lords! Not close to all, but this is what stuck with me mostly growing up as a young mother and helped shape the women I am today. This is what helped push me through when I wanted to give up. Now I share that same wisdom with my children. Your strength, endurance, and selflessness is what I always admired the most. You continued to support and encourage others through everything. The kids said hi, we are going to miss you calling everyone to ask for Phienyx lol. Thank you for being my best friend and a wonderful mother. You will forever live in my heart!
