My Girl, I just learned today of your passing, the laughter, the fun we had when we worked together. I miss you already, we had some good conversations, I pray that your loved ones will find comfort knowing that you were always such a warm and loving person RIP Maime

I had just found out Friday before she laid to rest this Saturday that she had passed. My heart was broken a friend indeed she was. I met her at the Birmingham Barons baseball station where we worked at. She was one sweet lady that we laughed, hug each other and talk all the time together. My deepest Condolences to the Family.

I am sorry for the loss of your mom. Trust in God.

Mom, you molded four powerful women, enabling us to achieve through your sacrifice, guidance, and unwavering love. Your legacy is visible in who we are and how we move through the world. We will forever be grateful for the foundation you laid.

There aren’t enough words to describe how much you meant to me, grandma. You were so strong and so wise. You taught me so much about the importance of waking up everyday and fighting to earn my place in this world. You were the biggest light in my life, and I thank God everyday for blessing me with having you (and David) in my life. I appreciate everything you did for me and I will love you forever
