My precious precious Nanny and Pray partner. I will miss you more than words can express. Although my heart is hurting right now I find peace and comfort in knowing you are with the one you served in faith for so many years. You walk in reality where we only dream to be one day. Give Steph our love and my PawPaw Rolling a kiss for me. I will always cherish our talks before bedtime, our midnight meetings in the kitchen, our prayer time at night or whenever we needed to BOMBARD heaven as you would say. The emptiness that your homegoing leaves in my heart will now be filled with all the precious memories our family shared through the years.. I LOVE YOU DESSIE ILENE and pray that I one day will be half the woman you were and be to others what you were to me. Save a seat at the table for me cause soon and very soon we will all have that Family Reunion Jesus Style..
With Much Love
