To Mel and Family
I know your heart is so heavy and I do know your pain I have had that same pain for the last 14 years now but it does get better with time only God knows your real hurt. But I have come to see that God called my Angel Home because she had alot of work to be done in Heaven so know that Mama West is just gone on to finish her Job in heaven. when you feel the sad times Mel just remember all the good times you all had with Mama West those or the best memories but sis it is gonna be hard but if you're strong believer in Christ Our Saver it gets easier you know where your strength comes from right JESUS so hold your head high and keep on keeping on.
