To the Gabriel & Lockett Family
Your mom was a beautiful woman, inside and out. Back in the day at New Day Church she always brought a smile to my face. I never got a chance to really tell her I love her and appreciate her for being a special angel in my life in my time in need. Those were the days! To the twins, keep your head up and focus on the future & reflect on the past.

To the Gabriel and Lockett Families,

Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal; we are not as those who have no hope. My sympathy and prayers are with the family, and I pray God's strength for you and believe that His loving arms will surround and comfort you during a time such as this. We look to have even better times when we meet in Heaven because we certainly praised God together back in the day at the New Day Holiness Church!
