I offer up my heartfelt condolence at the passing of your father, Dionne (Yohance) and Tanika. You, your mom and all your family have always made me feel so welcome and a part of the family each and every time I visited their lovely home. I share your pain (the human part of us) because I know how it feels to separate from someone who has always been here. Ask God to carry it for you because He is the only one who can do it. Hold on to the memories because that is one of the mechanisms God put in place to sustain us, but we all know PRAYER is what takes us through. Mother Howell loves you dearly. You and your sister are the testimony to the kind of parents God gave you. Be blessed and know you are not going through this alone. I love you dearly.
