Not sure what to say?

To my mother, who would have celebrated her 75th birthday today, Who was a beacon of selfless love and unwavering sacrifice. She poured her heart into nurturing her family. From late nights tending to your needs to the quiet moments where she offered wisdom and comfort, her sacrifices were the foundation of my strength. Your love was a constant, a gentle force that shaped me & my sister with care, always putting others before herself, her warmth radiating in every encouraging word and tender...

On this day, March 31, 2025, Imark four years since you, my venerable matriarch, departed this corporeal realm. Four terrestrial revolutions around the sun-a span both eternal and ephemeral-have tempered the lacerating anguish of your absence into a quieter, perennial companion. Yet, the sorrow lingers, an indelible specter woven into my essence, surfacing when I instinctively reach for the phone to share a triumph or seek your sagacious counsel, a vestigial yearning undimmed by time. You...

Three years have passed since the world lost a beacon of love and light, my beloved mother. Yet, the ache of her absence remains as palpable as ever, serving as a poignant reminder of the profound impact she had not only on my life but also on the lives of those fortunate enough to know her. As I reminisce about her, I feel compelled to honor her memory by articulating the profound ways in which her love, nurturing nature, and warm spirit continue to shape my very essence. My mother...

I always seem to get my visits from you around the #holidays and #birthdays. Or I can hear your #voice and feel your presence around me. I understand that #energy as they say is forever and if I'm keeping it real Mama yours was huge. You came to me in a dream last night and spoke to me and smiled at me, telling me son "keep doing what you're doing". Stay strong. Today marks the 2 year mark and it's still a slew of #emotions but they at times can be overwhelming around this time of...

You are the epitome of beauty, the possessor of wisdom, nurturer. It's been a year and I still have my moments where I have to come to grips with certain things. Your spirit is so vast that it still feels as it I'm going to hear or see you [or get on me about my affinity for Law & Order lol], you know one day while sitting outside a #butterfly actually landed on my knee and stood there for quite awhile. Me and big sis seen this and our spiritual insight put two and two together. The...

I woke up super early this morning with you on my mind. Sitting and being flooded with memories of you. From helping me with my school work to our talks to you being a school chaperone at the majority of my school field trips. Big Sunday morning breakfast. Your instilling of fine attributes with me and my older sister such as compassion, respect, and just being a good person of character. Something that you yourself were a reflection of in that you always had a good word to say. Your spirit...

Though I never had the pleasure of meeting Janet, her husband Wali always spoke so highly of her-about what incredible mother and cook she was. We are sending prayers and positive healing energy to Wali and their 2 children. May she rest in peace.

her and her son would always come to the barbershop. She was always a nice person with a chill personality . Condolences to the Muhammad family and anyone else dealing with this lost

We attended Valena C. Jones elementary school with Janet. She had a beautiful spirit and a glowing smile. Janet always played the role of caretaker for her mischievous cousin Freddie, who was also in our class.
We were saddened to hear of her passing, and will keep the family in our prayers. May she rest in Eternal Peace.
