Thinking of you mama.

Happy birthday mama! It was such an honor to share the same birthday with you (December 3). I sure miss you frying up some chicken and making some spaghetti on our birthday along with your other dishes. I also miss you saying girl ain't you tired of chicken, it's a wonder you haven't turned into a chicken. We also share our birthday with Debra and I'm sure she's thinking of you also. I love ans miss you always mama, your daughter, Samantha.

I will always remember my mom for the strength and courage that she had. Through all of the chemo and radiation she had she went through it like a champ. I remember someone asked her was she scared when she found out she had cancer and she said no because whatever God has for you to go through you have to go through it. That's the attitude she had her entire battle with cancer. I will never forget the life lessons she taught me such as put God first,help anybody you can, always treat people...

I remember my Aunt Virginia for her food and long history of “riding” along in cars with others. I remember driving her from point A to Point B (once I was old enough to drive). Most of all I remember how good of a cook she was, people would stop me and say “you aunt sure can cook” and right before she passed I attempted to get the recipe for her famous Caramel cake, but she was unable to give it to me, so I hope she will be there in spirit when I attempt to make it. I LOVE YOU and MISS YOU ...

Gramma Gee Gee has always been a strong woman. We have so many wonderful memories that will never be forgotten. She would give you the shirt off her back if she thought you were cold. Her door was always open and she was always feeding us her GREAT cooking. Man...I can't believe you are gone. Although it hurts so bad and you will truly be missed, we know that you are enjoying those streets of gold and many mansions. To my Aunt Samantha, Aunt Tonya, Uncle Smoke (Maurice), Uncle Chris and Uncle...

when I first meet Mrs. Lewers I didn't know how sick she was, because she was always up doing something. Their was one thing that I think I will never ever forget. She had me in the kitchen cooking and making potato salad, now for a person who can't cook had NO business in the kitchen cooking anything never the less making potato salad. As I was yelling from the kitchen asking her what do I do next Mrs.Lewers had fell asleep in the living room and I was as lost as a puppy, i still laugh to...

I could always count on her to be there for me. We got really close when I had my boys and she started keeping them for me while I went to work and school. Who knows how I would've finished that first degree without her there. During that time, she got the nickname "Santa Clause" Grandma after her collection of Santa Clauses because that is the only way the boys could keep their many grandmas straight. Anytime she called to talk to them, it was "Santa Clause" grandma is on the phone and the...
