Mama, it does not feel like you have been gone almost nine years. My heart will continue to hold you close because you were my strength every time I need it, and I could always depend on you for guidance. Continue to REST IN HEAVEN and keep God's flowers looking beautiful. I love and miss you every day.

My dear mother,
It does not seem like you left me eight years ago but all the memories and teaching I have to hold on to will forever be in my heart. I think of you often and wish you were here to love on and play with your many grandchildren that have been born now and have fun with them. Continue to rest in Heaven momma. I know God's flowers are even more beautiful and sweeter with you in it. I love you more and more every day.

Mother there is not a day that goes by that you are not thought of whether it is from fun memories of what you said or remembering the teachings you taught each of us. We all miss you so much and we are stronger for the upraising you gave each of us. Continue to RIH. We will see you again some day. All our love for you forever.

Momma,
You are my friend, my wisdom maker when I needed to make a decision, my strength whenever I felt like I could not go on and much much more. Everything I am, everything that I want to be and could ever hope to be I learned from you. I want to tell you how much I was blessed by God That he created such a wonderful, strong, loving and caring woman just for me to call my " MOTHER". Rest in peace my love, my friend. Tell all the family I said hello.
