“I Get it Now” Contentious? Yep, that’s how I would describe the beginning of our relationship. I’m pretty sure that’s because you wanted the best for your son and you didn't know me (you just knew of me). As time progressed, our relationship mellowed. However, it wasn't until October at The Candid Conversations that I found out how you truly felt. I was bothered then, but I get it now (God has a way of doing things). You not only wanted me to know, but for the public go know how you loved me and appreciated me for being who I was to you and your family. To hear you say all that you said will forever be etched in my mind. I want to also appreciate you for embracing my babies as your grandchildren and great-grandchildren. You treated them as though they were your flesh and blood. Words cannot express how much I love you and what you meant to my family, Keshah, Twinky, Amber, Melody and Rickey. My Son our Musician, you always said “that Boy show can play”. You Walked so gracefully down the isle of Keshah's wedding, looking Sassy and beautiful. You prayed for us all. My heart is so heavy, but my Spirit rejoices because you lived Salvation. You walked in Holiness, you are still my example of a Virtuous Woman. We traveled together, prayed together danced together, gave together, went to Church together. Thank you for being a part of Determined Faith for sharing you with us. You are my Momma and I always have called you that and always will. You my Diamond, shall shine in our hearts for- ever. We share a Son, a true son. Thank you, it didn't take this to tell you, I did all the time. I love you Momma, forever just me Mama Tave as you called me and us. your other Family always have been always will be. My Tribute to A Diamond, Now, Lillie...who am I gonna provoke to praise!? Lady Tam, Your DIL (that’s what you called me) A Diamond's Tribute
