My heart is stricken with grief and sadness especially since I'm hundreds of miles away but there in spirit, "Momma" is who she was to me, she raised me without thinking twice as she did for so many of us, thats what you got when you entered Lenora's world,my Grandma was one of a kind to me and will forever live in my heart, fighting back tears seems to be all I've been doing lately and I know thats ok because the tears tell me just how much she meant to me. Truly missed but never forgotten..

Many lessons I will never forget from my grandmother.. She was so wise... She wasn't just a mom to 9, the whole gram street lockbourne loved you just the same. My childhood summers were full of joy being with you and grandpa tony, never one dull moment.. No matter how anyone felt you made up your own judgement about people, and spoke your mind. How generous and kind your spirit is. I'm only sad because I won't see you till my calling. But I feel sooo much joy and peace knowing your not in pain away from foolish and in heaven fussing and papa. You did all you can for each of us, one of a kind, phenomenal, beautiful, strong and full of personality. So I'm no. gonna say goodbye because it's not. I'm going to say what you would say to me after phone conversation " Ocky Docky than!" Wishing to see you sail off, wishing I was there but the celebration is ill see you again one day!!

Daryl,Ronald & Family... On behalf of the Stewart family, we extend our deepest condolences. Looking back, your Mom has always been a strong stable presence in our lives. We thank you for the sharing of your Mom and allowing us to know her through our friendship. Thank God for Mothers that extend further than their household. That's a real Mother.

Grandma you will always be in my thoughts & in my heart. I know you are with our loved ones looking down on us protecting us.Love love love you ALWAYS!!!!
Give yourself a break and med-it-tate. Elevate your mind to find what lies behind the wall of mind.
A smile can hide the truth, the mouth can whisper lies, but the eyes always reveal what's hidden.
Behind that smile you'll find love, pain and hurt. Only 2 more days before I have to prepare myself for that final goodbye Saturday morning to my dear dear grandmother. No one will understand the emotional roller coaster that I'm dealing with right now among other things Re-evaluating those in my life
