MAYA DANCY Obituary


MAYA EMANI DANCY May 4, 2002 - July 14, 2017
One year ago today, Heaven gained a very special Angel. My life has not been the same without you by my side, On the day you departed this earth a part of me also died. There's a pain in my heart that never goes away, But God continues to give me strength to make it through each day. You'll always hold a special place in my heart that no one could ever fill, My daughter, my love, my Maya.... I miss you and love you still. ~ Mommy
