Grandmama, I miss you so much. I will be forever grateful to you for leading by example. You loved everyone unconditionally, please rest in peace because you did your best for us. Now it's up to us to show the fruits of your labor. I know that I will see you again, because at an early age you took me to church where I received Christ, which was the ultimate showing of love that one can give to another so rest on Grandmama, rest on.

Mrs. Fannie, I love you so and will miss you dearly. You have been my God Mother since I was 9 years old; which has been for 21 years. Throughout the years you have given me such powerful advice in conversations. You did not ever miss calling or sending me a card for a birthday, graduations (elementary, high school, and college) and you were also honored in my wedding. I am so glad that you were my God Mother and of the many times that we shared. I am going to miss you, but God knows best.

Love Always
