Mama,

From the moment I came in this world, you were there for me. I just want to take this time to say thank you because if not for you, I will not be who I am today, having the privilage to walk & talk because you took me to therapy to make sure I could do such things people take for granted. Thank you for the molding, the disipline you gave me over the years. The work you have done will speak now and forever, and the bond we had will forever live on....so until we meet again mama.. hug Harold & Ms. Helen for me.

Love Always,
Natasha,Trenton,Treniquis,TaVon & Tre'Von Lee
