Thank you for the gift of love. Now you’re sharing it up above. You had many things to say, All in a caring way. You always saw good in everyone. No matter what they’ve done. You were always the one we could all lean on, Even though it must have felt like a ton. You were always the strength of the family. Now we must let you rest calmly. We say see you later, As tears roll down our eyes. We know your place in heaven has a good view. You’re telling God I need to keep an eye on a few. We know you will always be in our hearts and minds. So, Grandmama, We must let you go, but we will never forget you’re one of a kind Love, Ronda, Angelia, Tyrone, Corenda, Yzette, Merl, Charvin and Dana Love from heaven Felecia & Deshawn

Mama I remember that you are gone from me and your tender love will watch over us while we are still here. You will always live in my heart and your love will always be with me. I pray that God will give me strength and somehow get me through as I struggle with my so broken heart! I will miss you forever Mama. Love Oldie Janice Mama, I stood at the gates of heaven and welcomed you with open arms. I know the day I left you I took a piece of you with me. Now we are joined together again in heaven. Special Tribute from Leon Hello, Mama this Tee Baby. I will miss you so much. You truly are amazing and no else has your smile, your laugh or your presence. You are the only one who can be who you are and do what you do. Mama I love you so much. Heaven gained an angel the day you left this world. I know you’re watching over me. You will never leave my heart. You are my beautiful and gracious mama. I always gave you your flowers while you were here. Love you forever Mama. Love Tee Baby Mama, your wisdom guided me though life’s twists and turns. I could always count on your shoulder to lean on and gentle words of advice.
