Mom, you tried to prepare me but I wasn't. I am honoring your memory and our special friendship kinship as Mother/Daughter/Friends.

Oh Ms. Grey, I miss you my friend. I will never be able to eat another bowl or plate of cheese with grits without remembering you. Your beautiful smile is permanently embedded in my mine. I have so many beautiful memories of you, laughing, talking, shopping, making sweet potatoe pies and just plain old sitting around goofing off, and the pleasure was all mine. I love you unconditionally my Friend. I know you are at peace because you have gone home to your Father the Lord. Sharon Gary

Oh Mrs. Grey, my heart is so full. There are so many things I want to write but there is not enough time or space to do it. But, I will never be able to eat a bowl or plate of grits with cheese without thinking about you. Your smile is permanently embedded in my memory, and the pleasure has been all mine. Unconditional love is what I have for you my FRIEND. I know you are resting peacefully because you have gone home to your father. GOD BLESS Sharon Gary
