Momma today was one of the hardest things I have ever been witness too. Saying good bye to you amongst family and friends. And Did you ever have a slew of friends come to your services today. You are my heart and it aches so heavily. You are my truest best friend. I'll still tell you all my secrets and stories. I'll miss your responses dearly. But I know you are in a better place and healthy and Happy walking with God. Hug both my dads, grandpa and grandma for me. I love you momma.

My auntie Do was a beautiful, charming, and extremely witty lady and a very special person. She touched the lives of anyone who knew her. I will cherish my memories of her always and know that she is with my momma watching over me everyday. I am grateful for the time we had together on my trip out to Cali thankful to my son Jason for taking me there. And oh what a night we had at the Casino. Loved every minute. My heart goes out to all my family. I love and miss you Aunt Do.
