My Favorite memory of My second Mother are too numerous in number to focus on one She was instrumental in raising me from 6yrs old to adulthood I went Ewing Neighborhood Center on Prospect St in Dogpatch Later to the Hollowbrook Community Center Homework Afterschool Program and Summer Camp

When I had my daughter and my Goddaughter she began the same training and instilling in them to be Distinguished Ladies of Excellence I am forever grateful humbled and proud to have benefited from Mrs Kimbrough and her husband´s Wisdom Charitable Acts, Unconditional Love, Support Compassion and Kindness. She trusted me and I sought her out for her experience expertise knowledge and she ALWAYS GAVE ME THE CONFIDENCE I WAS SOMEBODY AND I COULD DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST JESUS. Take Your Rest My Beautiful Angel We Shall Meet Again Until Then I will remember all your teachings and draw on the strength you gave me that if You Could I could too.

To my cousins: You guys have my deepest sympathy. The loss of a mother is heartbreaking, the world is never the same, and even the simplist task(s) becomes difficult after the loss of someone a child holds so near and dear. I pray strength upon the family during this difficult time.
