Cleo E. Green

Cleo, I still miss you everyday. Every morning I struggle to make it to work knowing that you won't be there and I can hardly breath. Every time I make it through another work day - it's like climbing Everest. I know you know how hard it's been for me but I'm gonna make you proud. I love you so much more than I ever told you. I needed you so much more than I ever thought I would. I can't be angry at God forever but I'm not making any promises. (smile) There was so much I wanted to tell you...

Dear Family: I received notice of Ms. Cleo's passing late on Friday evening. She had been on my mind for the past week. I will always remember her smile and her laugh. We met while I was working at NAIFA in Virginia around 5 years ago. She was so sweet. I will miss talking to her. My prayers go out to the family. She was a "jewel".

My deepest sympathy goes out to all of you. It is with heavy heart that I write this. Cleo took very good care of me as a little girl in New Orleans and as I grew, I spent many hours with her. I'm sure God needed another kind soul to add to his heavenly host.

Cleo will always be in our hearts and memories as her energy, kindness and optimism touched us each day. I will be unable to attend the service but my thoughts and prayers are with her family during this difficult time.

Ms. Cleo was always smiling and she always had a kind word to say about everyone she knew. Her positive attitude towards work and life in general will be missed. I will cherish the memories I have of her and I am grateful for the gift of her friendship. I will miss her dearly. My prayers are with her loved ones and friends.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Keith and Cleopatra as well as all of us who will miss one of the most caring and thoughtful people that I know. I am a better person for having known and learned from Cleo's kindness and positive energy.

I regret that I can not attend the service honoring her life, but I will pray for her family during this difficult time.

To my nephew Randy and Family:

My condolences and prayers go out to you all during this difficult time. I will not be able to attend the service because of another funeral I will be attending at the same time. Know that you are in my heart. I hope to see you while you are in town.

We miss you more than words can say. You were our sunshine and warm smile each working day. You were a model for us all and we will never forget your spirit. May peace find its way to your dear family and friends in due time. Love, Yasemin
