LEONA, you will always be my best friend. It's sad to say that I'm just finding out about your passing today June 22, 2017. I have always made it my mission to visit you when I come home from Germany to Augusta, and I bring you shot glasses every time from all the places that I have visited overseas. I came over to your house last year in June 2016 and i got no answer at the door, so i thought you were at work. I came to Augusta a week ago and I'd knocked on your door again and still no answer, so I decide to Google you and this page is what I found. My heart hurt so bad because I felt that we didn't have enough time together. You have and will always be my best friend and I want you to know how much I love you. My prayers goes out to your daughter and the rest of your family. I love you.

Monik,I am so very proud of the strength and courage that you've shown on the death of your mother and my sister. I know she's standing near you and guiding you every step of the way. Continue to be strong and lean not on your own understanding - but that of our Father in heaven and our angels that protect and watch over you and boys.

Each day the pain of your leaving lessens, but I catch myself wanting to call and tell you something, as we used to do. God is good. He allowed us to have many years together. Praise his name.

Kenyata you my girl and you and your mom had the same spirit. I loved her laid backness. She knew she did not want to burden you anymore and was ready to hang up that battle and fly high. Your love for her was great but being with our Lord was greater. She knew you could hold it down and maintain it here so she said I'll catch you later, I got some cloud scootin to do. So there she is with her pink wings and pink scooter getting it. I love you girl and always always here for you no matter what.
