I am so sorry for your loss. Kierra and Crystal I know you where especially close to your Na-Na. I never received the honor of meeting her, but have heard nothing but praise about her. I know she is looking over all of you and very proud of you. I will keep you in my prayers.
Love you,

Just wanted to let you know how sorry I am for your loss. Na-Na was a very special person and she knew how much you all loved her. I know she is dancing in Heaven along with my Sister having conversations about how we are all doing down here. The only comfort (I found) in time of Death is knowing your loved one is in the arms of our Lord and Savior. And they have complete healing and no longer in pain. I know your loss is deep and I dont think it ever goes away (mine hasn't) but she is always with you no matter where you are. She is apart of who you are! And that is something death can not take away! Love & Prayers.

Uncle Leon,
My thoughts and prayers are with you. If there is any thing that I can do for you, please let me know. Hold on to all of the good times that you shared with Shirley and that will help you get through. That is what keeps me going without Bobby. Luckily though, I have an over abundance of wonderful memories of Bobby (ha, ha). I will miss Shirley deeply, she was never anything but sweet and nice to me. I could tell that you made her very happy also. May God Bless you and hold you close through this very difficult time.
