To Johnnie Mae, Robert, Bobby, Marvin, Virginia and Family,

May you all find comfort and peace through the difficult days ahead. It will be hard sometimes, but if you just remember "Ma's" beautiful smile, your day will be brightened. Also remember that The Lord has prepared a home for "Ma" and now she is looking down on all of you while she is rejoicing with the rest of the Angels.

"Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know." - John 14:1-4

God Bless you all,

Tanya

Dear mon,

There isn't enough words to describe the type of person you are. You brightened everybodys day you gave all of us the courage to survive. Now that your gone I guess I will have to keep your spirit alive along with your hopes and dreams to keep the family together. We know that your in a better place now it just hurts us to know that you are no longer here with us giving us all the warmth and smiles. I could tell your smiling right now hoping and praying that we all just keep strong and live happy. Just remember whenever there's a bunch of mess going on I will say what you always say, "My name Wes and I ain't in dis mess."

Mon I want you to know that I love you with all my heart and I truely understand it was time for you to get the rest that you needed.

Love always,

Elbonie(as you would say)

Lucille was a very special to me. She was my friend and my grandmother she was always there when i needed someone to talk to about a problem when their was no one to talk to. I remember like it was yesterday when she first taught me how to bake a cake she show me that one time and ever since then baking has been my life. I loved her so much even though she isn't here with me physically she will always be here with me spritally.

To my sister Judy and her husband Marvin and my neices Ebone and Rachelle and Ma kids Virigina, Johnnie Mae and Bobby and Robert and grand and great grandchildren.

In Loving Memory of Ma:

You all have my deepest sympathy. My words can't really express the way I am feeling about the lost of Ma. Ma was a wonderful and caring person and very laid back. She going to be missed. Ma was the only one I know who would bake nearly 20 pies on the holiday and cook the biggest servings of potatoe salad and mac and cheese and all the other fancy stuff on the holidays. I will also remember her as being my moms buddy at the park on holidays. Boy when I think of all the fine things that Ma did for everybody I probably could write a book. So you guys know that she went over and above for everybody and everything and again she is definetly going to be missed. So what I want to say to all of you is that you guys have to keep your head up because you know that is what Ma would want of all of you. Ma not be here anymore physically but her spirit will always be with all of you and she will be greatly missed. Ma may you rest in peace and I love you.
