I'm thankful to have met someone as special & kind as you. I'm thankful my son was able to meet such an amazing woman. I'm also thankful that you are saved & are now looking down smiling at all your loved ones. You will forever & always be in my heart & I love you with everything that I am. Until we meet again. I love you.

It's God, grace & mercy. The days has truly passed & for me not to be able to sit down with you; laugh & joke. Once again it hurts but I can't be sad nor weep because I know you are lighting star & singing up in heaven for all God's people. Glory to his name. Luv you sister. You will be in our hearts forever more. Blessings!

My dearest Vanessa. You have been there for me since the day I was born. Not only have you been the best Godmother, but you have also been a great friend & a second mother to me & my son Isaiah. I'm so blessed to have had you in my life & for my son having the honor of meeting you. If only I can just hug you one more time, or tell you that I love you just once more. But your work here is done & I know God is saying "well done, thy good & faithful servant". You will always be in my heart &...
