Read MoreMother, I miss you so much. Thank you for praying for me all those years ago that I would give my life to the Lord. Your prayers were answered, and it has made all the difference in my life. I look forward to the day I will see you again in heaven. I will love you always. Love your daughter Gilda.

Hi Mom, It has been a month since you transitioned to a new and more precious life. I miss you so much each and every day. I love you with all my heart. I know you love me because you always told me. Your last words to me were "I LOVE YOU." That is what gives me strength to go on and live the way you taught me. I know God prepared a place for you. When it was time He came and took you home. I know you are happy to be with your heavenly father.
Love forever, from your first born,

Nanny its been a month now since you had to leave us. But you raised us well, and loved us dearly. I know this because I still hear your voice when my days and my decisions get rough. I hear you saying, "Hold your peace, and He will fight your battles", "You be kind to them, even if they are not kind to you." And when I hear your voice and your words, then I smile,and peace comes into my situation. Thank you Nanny. I will love you forever. Your grandaughter.

Hi Nanny,
It's Nikki.
I remember so many amazing things about you. I was amazed that there was never a day that you could not remember your Grandmother, Sarah or Sara Brown, when I asked you about her. You often told us how your Grandmother would talk about having lived part of her life as a slave in North Carolina.
Nanny, you are now with your Grandmother and all our other loved ones that you often told us you missed so much.
We miss you.
I continue to have to...
Nikki
