Remembering your warmth and laughter and the closeness you shared with your family.

May the love of family and friends and your many happy memories of Ma give you comfort during this difficult time. God bless you all.

To Traci and Family,

My prayers and thoughts are with you. Memories and time will lesson the grief. May the love of your family keep you strong.

I have so many fond memories of coming to your home after school when I was a little girl. Your house was like a second home to me. You always had a smile on your face and I will keep these memories with me forever.

My Ma-You were always a second mother to me, helping me with my homework and taking care of me when I was sick. I love you just doesn't seem like enough. You will be missed more than words can describe. I love you Ma.

Love,

Lukey Duke
