Mamahawk (short for Mama Hawkins) I remember when I first called you by that name you laughed, smile and said you liked it. I remember the talks we shared and the promise you asked me to make to you, and the promise is still good. I remember the jokes, laughter and fun we shared especially the ones when I ask you, Mama Hawk! Do you have on Grey socks? And you said No Boy! Then we burst out laughing because your legs where so ashy. Also, the ones with us In Concert (supposedly) with the old school artists like the Temptation, Al Green and The Stylistics Etc. I would tell you that we was leaving the group because they keep messing up the songs. Again, you would laugh. You accepted me with open arms and love me as your own. You was more than a Mother-in-law, you was a Mom. Thank you for the laughter, jokes, talks and everything you did.
Love you, Miss you
MOM!
