I am deeply sorry in the loss of your most wonderful mother. The few times I got to visit with her was of great blessing and pleasure. She was a person with a great sense of love for all of you. I always loved her beautiful personality and character. Your mom was an exceptional young lady with so much for society, but mainly you, her children, the joy of her life. You have no idea how much I regret not knowing of her passing until I saw the announcement for her 1st Anniversary. My deepest condolences to all of you, and Vangie, I am so sorry. May the Lord continue to strengthen you all and May your loving and lovely mother RIP.
I'm here for you Vangie. Three years ago l lost my mom too and I know what you're going through. Lord's blessing be upon you all.

I didn't get a chance to say goodbye Tia Edna. Just as you had a place in my heart and you gave me motherly advice. I cherish each moment we had at all our family gatherings. I didn't get a chance to say I love you before the angels took you away from us too soon. Now you are rejoined with Wela and Welo. Love you always Tia.

September 23, 2014

With a heavy heart I offer my condolences and prayers. May peace rest upon your family as God grants strength to overcome your sadness.
