A Letter to Heaven:
Mama, I miss you so much. You prepared me for everything in life but you never prepared me to live without you. My heart is broken to no understanding. I remember we had a talk about this day years ago, “You said, it is ok to cry but you have to go on with life and be strong for Michael. I will be ok! So, I sit here before you and I promise everything will be fine. Take your rest I got it from here.
I Love you Mama,
Edwana McGee
I love you granny; I am doing good at home and school. I miss you.
I Love you Granny,
Camichael McGee
