Momma~
A time was held yesterday Baby! We had our Family Gathering and the time was truly amazing! There was nothing more joyous than the time spent together! It was amazing to see Johnny and his son together. Cat showed up and did her thing! Johnny and Carl handled the grill; the meat was succulent! Auntie Pat dropped in with some amazing tacos! Rochelle acted just like you...fussing and organizing and looking like she was ready to pray! I'm sure you were looking upon us with a smile!

Good Morning Gurl!
Wait! I cannot believe I have not updated your page, waaaat! Well, we talk daily and I hear your voice as I navigate my daily life. But, I will do better. Gurl, we need to gossip, I need to get you the 411 on everything that has been going on. I´m sure you already know that Resa went home on 09.16.2024. I cannot believe that baby is gone. Momma, Resa is in heaven! I'm still working to accept her passing as she was just a baby! But I know y'all had a halleluiah shouting, praise dancing reunion. Well, I will post some pictures of life and give you some earthly updates-not that it matters in the heavens! I miss you gurl! Love you much!
Love Nae!

Dear Momma,
If you see my grandpa in heaven, give him a hug from his favorite granddaughter! Grandpa was so hilarious. I remember he would not allow anyone to cut his hair but me! That man was something else!
Thank you both for the beautiful memories!

If you asked momma how she was doing, you got one or both of these responses from her:
"I´m fine and dandy and sweet as candy"
"I´m blessed by the best!"
My grandma was something else!

Momma,
This day 4 years ago, you went to be with Jesus. This is a calendar date that I hate, though I know it's a blessing to see another day. Life without you is simply not the same. I've learned to go on without you, but believe me, it has been a journey and everything about life is different. We shared so many memories and sooooo many laughs. I'm thankful I had you for as long as I did, though it seems like a very short period of time. My heart is broken Momma!
Love you Gurl!

Momma, it been a little while since I left you a message, but in the last few weeks so much has happened in my life to which you would be so proud of me. But, more importantly what I want to share with you, is a blessing from the heavens, his name is "Gift." Momma, this man warms my soul. He treats me like a queen. With him, I feel like a piece of heaven on earth. I wish you were here to meet him. You'd be proud to have him on your team as well. Just watch over us gurlie. Know that your granddaughter misses you so much, life is simply not the same. I never imagined my life without you and its still devastating to know that you are gone. I will forever hold onto our talk and the joyful laughter. I will continue to use what you taught me about lifein my daily journey!
Love you Gurlie

Good Morning Grams!
Well, on 11.11.2022 I was able to officially call Florida home. I'm pretty much unpacked and situated. Momma for the first time I feel like I'm not suffocating, I can breathe and the air is so fresh. Momma that heavy laden feeling I use to carry is now a memory. I feel as light as a feather much like I'm floating through the air like a butterfly. This almost feels surreal, I often smile and say, "I'm in Florida." We did it! I had a dream and God blessed me every step of the way! Despite many life obstacles, God has shown up each time and made a way when I had no idea how it would end! I start work tomorrow. I been very blessed along this entire journey. You must still be whispering in Jesus ear for me! Well, don't stop praying for me and being my Guiding Guardian Angel!
Love you Momma!

Hey Momma,
It's ya gurl, Nay! You probably already know, but the Lord called Jerry home this morning. So, go find him and tell him his daughter loves him and that I'm proud of the fight he fought. I know y'all two gonna be cracking jokes at one another just like old time. You talked about his feet and he always called you "OLD HAG." Y'all had too much fun and so much love for one another. Well, good-night momma. Love you!

Hey Grams! Although it's been a moment since I posted on this site, trust me you sit in my bedroom with me everyday and I carry you in my heart daily. Gurl, I have much going on, but its all positive. I wish you were here to hear it in person, but since that's not possible, I'll share here! Last year September I decided to move to Florida. January I moved in with China-Doll as you called her. I worked day and night to achieve some goals, which I was able to accomplish. Now, I'm officially a Floridian. I got my apartment on 10.07.2022 and I will make the big move on 11.11.2022. I call this transition my RE-BIRTH! I feel like this is a new opportunity at life. I did very well with raising my children and having a successful career. Now I want to focus more on me and growing in my spiritual walk. Momma, God has been so good to me. I declare I could testify. I strangely feel as though He has something in store for me. I just can't seem to pinpoint it. But I tell you He has placed this calming peace in my life. He's restoring my soul as Psalms 21 says. Momma, I thank you for teaching me about God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirits because I would otherwise be lost. I often think of the Easter speech you wrote for me when I was about 12. You wrote TRIALS and TRIBULATIONS into that speech and for the life of me I could not remember those words until you whispered it while sitting in the front row. Interestingly, I have endured my share of trials and tribulations, but I wouldn't have made it through if you had not layed the first brick on my spiritual journey and showing me through your actions who to call on when in need or to simply give thanks! Thank you Momma! I Love You Gurl! You are forever in my heart.

Hey Momma, so I could not help but to reflect on our "back in the day", days! I'm feel so sick. I have a temperature of 99.6. So, before I get worse, I went and got cod liver oil. I remember when all the grandkids stood in line from tallest to shortest to take a tablespoon of cod liver oil. It's so funny because we used one spoon, now that is hilarious . I hope you are enjoying your time with Jesus and your loved ones. It just amazes me how a lot of your teachings come back to me. Well, I'm under my heating blanket, with Vick's on my neck and I took that cod liver oil. I hope I feel better because I have to be at work at 3am, it's 6:40pm right now. Goodnight Momma

Mommy,
As I sit here, I'm still trying to wrap my mind around the fact that you are no longer here. It's been 2.5 years since I seen you, hugged you, and rubbed your snow white hair. In my greatest imaginations, I never thought you would leave for heaven. You prepared us for so much, but why didn't you prepare us to be without you? Coming to Fort Wayne just seems so different. I guess I took for granted that you would always be here.
I love you girl! I can hear you say, "oh my goodness Nadine!"
I'll talk to you later.

Hey Momma! I love you gurl. So, I watched Gunsmoke this morning. I felt like you were in the room watching it with me. It's a good show. The music took me back to the good ole days. Ok gurl, I was just dropping by to say I love you and I miss you

Momma, I was watching your ole' school show and I declare I could hear you talking at the television. Hum, thanks for whispering in Jesus ear for me. I feel He heard my prayer, but I have a ways to go. Tell Him not to forget me though...thanks Momma!

Momma,
It's me again! I know you're in the heavens enjoying yourself with all of your loved ones. Momma, can you whisper in Jesus ear and tell Him I said a prayer, that I know how busy He is, but if He could take a moment to hear my prayer and heal my heart. I know this is selfish of me, but I need to hear from Him. Momma, this is a moment in my life where I need you. I am going through so much right now. I would love to pick up the phone and call you, so you can pray for me, with me. Momma why did you leave? I'm trolling through this life, lifeless, an empty shell. You never prepared me for this, none of this. Please go whisper in Jesus ear and ask Him to lift this heavy load.
Thanks Momma,
Your Nay

Hey Momma, it's 0533 in the morning. I don't have to be at work until 0930, but I'm up! Your birthday was the other day and although I didn't post here, I posted on Facebook!! I can only imagine the celebration you had. What is Aunt Catherine doing up there? Tell her that by far she is still my favorite Auntie! What is Punkin and Pooh doing? Tell my sisters that I love and miss them beyond measures! You probably been too busy to conversate with my dad, but if he's somewhere in the area, tell him his daughter loves him. Granny, I know you remember George my first LOVE, I know he's up there cutting up. You probably won't see him too much because he's such a social butterfly, but when you do see him, hug him for me and tell him that he is the beacon that forever lights my path. Now, girl go celebrate with your parents, siblings, son, and grandchildren. I know your birthday was one to remember! I hope you had an opportunity to meet B.B King! Alright gurlie, I'll send you another message soon. I love you and miss you much...
PS...I brought Sand and Stable perfume to remind me of you. Oh, did you know they tore down our house of Chestnut Street....AND AND, you would be mad if you seen your garden.
Your Granddaughter,

So Momma, I watched the movie, the War Room and I declare, that movie took me back to my childhood, except our entire home was the war room, not just an allocated room. I remember all the prayers and scriptures you wrote that were taped around the house. You had scriptures posted outside the front door, to be read before coming inside. I understand now! I thank you for giving me that foundational understanding of the Lord at an early age. I thank you for educating me about the benefits of life's compass, the BIBLE! I miss you so much! You are definitely missed. I'm still trying to grasp the fact that you are no longer here. What I would give to hear your voice just one more time! I have so much I want to share with you. Your birthday is coming up in a few weeks, and I know you will be having one heck of a celebration. I love you gurl...!

There is NOTHING like the love between a grandmother and grandchild! Momma, there are no words that can describe how much I miss you, your laughter, your crazy jokes, your sense of humor, your balled up face, your prancing around the house, you asking us if we're going to church knowing it wasn't optional, your famous sweet bread, you stitching us up for church, you making your pretty face up and dressing up to go nowhere, you writing our speeches for EVERY church function, the sounds of BB King, your singing throughout the day, you sipping cold coffee, you being out in the yard doing a whole lot of nothing but something to you, you sending ME outside to get YOU a switch to whoop ME! Man, I can go on for days with my memories. I love you for being that ROCK for teaching me and introducing me to Jesus and making sure we had a spiritual foundation. I miss you, My 1000 Gram! Never imagine you'd never be here! Keep resting Gurl!
