Moma, I miss you so much. I wish I had you here to just hug and talk to. Life has been lifing at times. I mean lifing. Glen and I are getting a divorce now. The kids are all grown. You have 6 great grand kids. Qua and Ni has kids. Lil'Mann is still kidless. :-) I am going to be doing a initial sermon soon. Your daughter will be doing her call to GOD. I am excited and scared. However, I know that you are watching over me/us. Everyone is doing well. I just wish we had more time with you. You will forever be in my heart. I love you Mom.

Ma, it's been 13 years and your memory lives on in me everyday. Sometimes, I find myself acting like you but always remembering all the things you said to me and taught me. I cherish them in my heart. A lot has changed since you have been gone. Oh, how I wish you were here in the flesh to talk to, but I don't want to be selfish because now you are with JESUS. I do have Jesus to talk to and I find myself at times coming to your grave site and talking and crying to you. It does help. My Dad has been a BIG influence lately as he has always been. I really appreciate him for being here for me all the time. I won't go on and on about stuff. I will come and visit you soon. I Miss You and I Love you Lady! Continue to Rest in Peace. Until we see each other again. Love Tricy

Hey Auntie!!!
I miss you very much. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about you. I look at your obituary from the funeral and I start reminiscing about the good ole days. Auntie, I am saddened that you are not here to talk to me. I miss those times that I called you because I felt that you were the only person who could uplift my spirits when I was feeling down. I miss you auntie! I had to be strong for my family when you first left us and now that time has past I'm hurting. It's like it happened all of a sudden. I just sit in the house thinking about you and wonder how you are doing. I know that you are in a better place now and that makes me happy to know that you are no longer suffering. Auntie, I love you and I miss you and I wrote a poem for you, I hope you like it.

THE ANGELS CAME AND TOOK YOU AWAY,
BUT I KNOW THAT YOU ARE IN A BETTER PLACE.
I LOVE YOU NOW AND I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER,
CAN’T WAIT UNTIL THE DAY THAT WE CAN BE TOGETHER,
MY LOVE FOR YOU IS SO PROFOUND; I MISS YOU AUNTIE BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT AROUND.
THE DAY YOU LEFT MY HEART WAS BROKEN,
I WILL NEVER FORGET THE WORD YOU HAD SPOKEN.
I TOLD YOU I WAS SCARED TO SEE YOU LIKE THAT,
YOU WALKED IN YOUR ROOM AND ON THE BED YOU SAT.
YOU SAID TO ME “I’M NOT WORRIED ABOUT THAT”.
MY HEART BEGAN TO ACHE AND I REMEMBER THE DAY,
I KNEW I HAD TO BE STRONG FOR CHEST, KAYLA, TRICEY, PEACHES, PUMPKIN & JAY.
A PHENOMINAL WOMAN INDEED YOU ARE,
THE STRENGTH YOU HAD STRETCHES FARTHER THAN THE STARS.
I HOPE ONE DAY TO BE AS STRONG AS YOU, A PHENOMINAL WOMAN, I WANT TO BE TOO.
I WISH YOU WAS STILL HERE BUT I KNOW YOU ARE GONE,
I HAVE YOUR MEMORY TO CARRY ON.
I KNOW YOUR FINAL PLACE IS IN HEAVEN,
GONE FOR NOW BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN.

Hey auntie, I know I havent been on here in a while but i truly MISS YOU. I was trying to write in your guest book from my cell phone but everytime i hit submit it would always delete it and I would get frustrated, but im here now! The holidays have passed but u were on my mind the whole ENTIRE time. I miss u so much i cannot even begin to tell u how much. The family is growing stronger and stronger together and it is such a blessing to see that. I know that you are happy to looking down on us still spreading your joy and love. Aunt Neisy, guess what..... we have a big day ahead of us tomorrow. I am a little scared about tomorrow, but my pastor said that u have to speak things into existence. We have made it through 3 of the major holidays and that was Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years. On New Years, me and some of the family went to church we went to hear Rev. Bleadsoe and we truly enjoyed it. Then we had an after party at my nanny house and we had a ball there also. We partied non-stop until 4pm the next day. I still cant believe we did that. We even song some Natalie Coles songs. (u know that was your girl). I performed "Inseperable". I tow the mic up 2. We still have another major holiday approaching us now. That holiday is your upcoming birthday auntie. January 20th is such a special day because you are such a special lady. Also Barack Obama the first black president will be sharing that special day with you because that is the day he will be sworn into the white house. Aint that something? Most of the family has taken that day off so we can come together and spread our joy and love with you and one another. Kayla is doing so good also. You have truly raised her to be a strong young lady. She has definately been there for everyone. Everytime me and Kayla have a conversation I really enjoy it, its like im sitting there talking to you aunt neisy. lol.
Rest in Peace. My Darling, darling baby! Until we meet again! Love you!

Ma, it's been a few months since you left me. I am missing you more and more each day. I missed you during these holidays, which was a difficult/slow time for me. I sometimes, do not know how I am going to manage. I cannot speak or see you. I pray for you and all of us. It is really hard, however, I know that you are in a better place with our LORD and Saviour. The WHOLE entire family misses you very much. Also, wanted to say "HAPPY NEW YEAR". LOVE YOU and ALWAYS have you in my heart.

Hey Nana! Well...here I am again...you are ALWAYS on my mind and at times I cant stand it. I want you here in the flesh instead of being with me mentally. It gets kinda rough having you not here and the whole family misses you. I was just talking to Lil Mann and he had a sad look on his face (something he always have since you left) and just then I knew why he looked so distant. You gone has affected me to the point of no return. No matter how much I try to dismiss the rememberance of you, I always fail. Then I cry and I wish and I hope that one day just ONE DAY you return to me..smiling, dancing and laughing like I've always seen you. Nana, if Santa could grant me one Christmas wish, I'd wish for you to come back to me.

Dear Nana,
I'm sitting here at work at the desk putting in flower orders upon the customer's request. We have a lot of funeral arrang. today and it made me think of you Nana. I want to see you and hug you. You were the best! I'm looking at the obituaries searching for you on the web and when I found you, my lips smiled but my heart cried. Good ol' memories...thats what I reflect. You were such an amazing and beautful woman. My first holiday without you it pains me since it wont be my last. However, overcoming the battle of this past holiday missed keeps me prepared for the rest in the future. I miss you without a doubt but I know you're resting. Nana it has been 6wks and 1 day since I last spoke with you and I will NEVER in a million yrs forget the last words you uttered to me. "I love you". It has also been 6 weeks since you've been sleeping; leaving your mortal body slipping into your new eternal robe of life and happiness. Until we meet again Nana "I love you too."

Hey Aunt Neisy. I miss u so much. Not a day goes by that i dont think about you. I miss your beautiful smile and your loving personality. You were like a second mother to me auntie. I cannot express how much I miss u but I know that you are in a better place watching down on the family as we struggle to make it through this difficult time, but we will get through it with all of the wonderful memories that we shared with you. I am so blessed and I thank GOD everyday because you dont have to suffer anymore. Sometimes I just wish that you were here so that I could get just one more hug from you.
I love you so much and may you rest in peace auntie.

Remember
Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.
