To my other mother....I know that you are resting in the arms of the Lord now, for you told me you were ready to go. You were one astonishing lady. Thank you for always being there for me and I really appreciate the morals and values that you have instilled in me and my family. You will always have a special place in my heart! Now don't forget to give Fish that cologne as the two of you smile down on this family. I will forever treasure every moment that we spent together. Sure hope I can find some greens in the freezer!(lol) ....Lois

To my great aunt, who was like a second grandmother to me, I knew this day was slowly approaching, and I am at peace with you going home to be with the Lord, but just not to here some of the things you would say to me or Teon & Elijah is disheartening. You are pain free and not suffering anymore. I will always cherish you and the memories that we shared. I will miss that good cooking (especially my greens you fixed just for me)..Love Always ...TeShawn, Teon & your lil man Elijah
