I just want you to know that I Love You with all of my heart forever and you will truly be missed by many. I wouldn’t have thought in a million years that GOD would call you home so soon. You treated me as if I was your child and I really appreciate that. I feel so bad because I was supposed to seen you more often. I know you heard everything I said to you the night before you got your wings and I meant everything I said. I love you Ma and always will forever. You were the real definition of a Godmother and now you are my Heavenly God Mother. Ima miss you Ma see you when I get there
