Hey Mom, It's the holiday season with thoughts of family and happy times.Life just is not the same with you not being around.We the family are trying daily to stay strong,it's a challenge to really maintain.I know that you would want us to remain strong and love one another.We are doing are best.There are so many things that I wanted us to do together as family,but I guess it wasn't Gods will.I know that you are looking down on us with your beautiful smile letting me,Marshay,Jermaine,and Sam letting us know that your alright and that you were tired and needed rest,and even though we are in pain because of are lost,GOD is still a good GOD. As I said at the funeral your spirit shall live until we see each other again,because I know that you are with the Heavenly father with family members that you miss. I can go on forever Mom letting you know how much we miss you! I miss you dearly and I feel your spirit daily. Love Always, Lorenzo Sloan

My Mom, My Friend, words can't express how I feel on this empty day. I feel empty without you, no one to talk to, no one to laugh with and tell my problems to , but it also makes me feel good in a certain way because I know you are in a better place.

Love your daughter

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.
