I love you like you’re mine

Dear Mama Malinda, As I stop to count my blessings There is one thing which rings true I’ll always be so grateful For the friend I found in you! Grateful for the special times We’ve shared throughout the years Times that brought us closer Through our laughter and our tears

The many things you’ve done All the times that you were there Help me to know how much you really cared

You didn’t just complete my Dad’s life you added a special touch to mine and my boys lives. You taught me how to love. You taught me how to pray. I am so grateful for you and the unconditional love. Even though it saddens me you’re gone. I can close my eyes see you with your beautiful smile with your arms open, like always. I was blessed and wanted you to know I love you and I’ll hold it down down here As you watch us from up in heaven

Love, Kiki, Josiah, and Collin

Dear Mama, A mother’s life is something that no one can explain. It is made of a deep devotion, sacrifice and pain. It is endless and unselfish. Even though you are gone from us with that smiling face. The heart that won so many friends. A life made beautiful by kindly deeds. A helping hand for other’s needs. I will always love you and take comfort knowing you suffered in silence everyday but now you have healed again. Watch and protect me and your grand babies. Forever in my heart your darling daughter. Love, Unique, Joshua, Jai’ari, Johnathan, and Avery Dear Mama, I love you so much and not only is that showed by the tremendous amount of grief on my heart right, but also by the ample amount of memories of us laughing, talking and simply just being in each other’s arms. Mama I thank God for choosing me worthy enough to have spent 24 years with an angel of God-giving love such as yours. You will forever be my best friend. Mama saying goodbye feels so permanent and absolute, so in the spirit of carry ing your legacy I will do what you instilled in me and that’s to trust in the Lord. Mama we will be together again and when that time comes we have limitless laughs, talks, and moments to be in each other’s arms again! Sincerely, Victoria “Vee” Price

I love you all and cherish every love filled memory created with you all. I know the days to come will consist of sadness and grief but I want you all take comfort in the undeniable fact that I am at peace, healed from all earthly wounds, and giving God the praise as if it was Sunday morning. When the hard time reach you I want you all to remember Paul’s words: “I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me” P HILIPPIANS 4:13 Always remember you are the head and not the tail. You are above and not beneath. You are a leader and not a fol lower. And you can do and endure all things with the Lord in your side. Until we meet again, Mama
