My deepest Sympathy and heartfelt Prayers go out to Juan, Ronnie and Roshawn. I have been apart of the family and Mom Linda's life for over a Decade. I remember her saying that 'You brothers better stick together because you never know when I will be gone'. Now it's time to listen she has gone to be with God he has came back and took what he has created. But now she is looking down on you. Show No emotion she is free now no more pain and suffering she is not hurting anymore. She loved you dearly and made sure that you was going to be Alright. But now that she is gone and I can say she will be Alright.. I loved her too. She was your Rock that held all of you together. You have My Sincere Condolences

So many memories of Ms. Linda! She was funny, outspoken, and so full of life! She never hesitated to say exactly what was on her mind. I spent many days at Ms. Linda's house as a child and she always treated me like family. I know that all of our time here on earth is limited and I'm sorry that she had to go so soon. To Ronnie, Terrance, Sam Tammy, RoShawn and the rest of the family I send my condolences and deepest sympathy. I love y'all! Stay prayed up!
