I want to thank everyone for their support and for loving my mama the way I did. I miss my mama dearly and honestly I feel cheated. I feel like a part of my life was stolen from me. I try my best to continue through life positive because that is what my mom would want for me.I turn to my children(who give me my strength)and just believe that everything will be alright. My mom's grandchildren adored her. There is Ania-7, Davieon-3, Dasia-2 and Da'Ryah-3 months. I ask that everyone keep me and my brother in your prayers and I also want to thank the Class of 81' for their support and all of my mom's friends or just anybody who was blessed enough to come into her presence I thank you.
MAMA, I MISS YOU SO MUCH AND I THINK ABOUT YOU ALL THE TIME. I'M GOING THROUGH TOUGH TIMES WITHOUT YOU AND I'M TRYING TO KEEP MY FAITH AND REMEMBER HOW YOU TAUGHT ME TO MAKE IT THROUGH WHATEVER IS AHAED OF ME. MAMA I HOPE I'VE MADE YOU PROUD AND I HOPE THAT ME AND YOUR GRANDCHILDREN CAN CONTINUE TO DO SO. I LOVE YOU!!! RIP

Dearest Stephanie, You will be truly missed. I will also miss hearing your voice when you call to just see how me and my family are doing. I often think about the good times we had growing up and find myself smiling. I will never forget you and will always remember your big smile and your big heart. Thank you for everything.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
