There are no words to describe the pain that I feel for the loss of my mother... My mother was my everything and she meant a lot to me and my kids... I feel lost without her but I am trying to move forward and remember the things she wanted me to do... It happened so fast but anyone who knew my mom knew that she loved her kids dearly and wanted the best for us!! She never complained with all the pain that she was feeling with her lung cancer... She smiled, laughed, joked, and continued to show her kids and grandkids love... My mother was a strong individual and she made a great impact on a lot of lives... Not only was her name "Queen" but she was a "Queen" in our eyes... She will always be in our hearts forever... Love, April (your big baby)!!

My heart sank when I heard the news. My deepest sympathy goes to all of you. Through this great woman I met some of her family and I am so very fortunate. She talked about ya'll everytime we spoke. Her Mama, April and the baby, Tony D, and Queen's king.. Tommy.
May you all find peace and understanding...in due time.
And know, she will always be with you!
