Ma,
There is nothing I can say that you dont already know so i will just say this: The Lord gave us two years eight months and six days to love you as much as we could. I want you to know that it was an honor for me to meet your every request want and need. I wish I could tell the world how truly special you are. I am honored to be a child of yours and will always love you. And even though it hurts I know the Lord loves you more than we do and that you still have work to do. Dont forget our two step mama
Love your baby

My Deepest sympathy goes out the the family of Ernestine Jennings. Though I did not know her very long, it felt like I had known her all my life. When we were paired together through the senior's ministry, we clicked that instant. Now that the lord has taken her home, you all keep in touch and call whenever you need me. I feel like I am part of the family now.
