If I know one thing to be true, it´s family was something you truly cherished. Whether near or far, biological or bonus, your love was both shown and felt. Thank you for accepting my family as your own and always checking in on me and my daughter, and thank you for all of the laughs shared over the phone. You were truly one of a kind with an infectious personality and you will be missed!! I know the Lord has a crown for you in Heaven that shines as bright as you did here on Earth.
Love,
Kanoshua and Kamryn

A loving mother & grandmother who God has blessed me with and called home before I truly got to spend as much time with you as I wish I could´ve , but I´m so very thankful for the time I did have with you. And I look forward to when we will meet again in Heaven! I hope your laughter fills Heaven as it lingers in our hearts
~Your (Bonus) Granddaughter, Joshayla xoxo

Tony, I´ve always thought of you as more than just a brother-in-law, so my heart is truly breaking for you right now. Your mother was a truly special person, and I feel lucky to have known her. Losing a mom is one of the hardest things in the world. Please take all the time you need to grieve, and know that we are here to support you in any way possible. Thinking of you constantly and I´m here for whatever you need, brother.

I am still in shock that you´re gone. It feels unreal. To my brother-in-law (Tony), I am so deeply sorry for your loss. There are no words that can truly ease this kind of pain, but I hope you know you are not alone. We are holding you close in prayer, love, and support during this unimaginable time. May God wrap you an your family in His peace, comfort you all in the moments when the grief feels overwhelming, and remind you that your mother´s love will always be with you.

My family and I will miss you deeply...this is surreal! Thank you for welcoming me into your family with love from the moment I met you. I will always cherish the conversations we had. I will miss her calls, her voice, her laughter, and those choice words (lol) when she had something on her mind. I can't wrap my mind around the fact I'm not going to hear her say "hey girly, how are you" anymore. There wasn't a time she did not ask about my daughters, my sisters, and my granddaughter.
I will miss my mother-in-law; she leaves behind a beautiful legacy of family and love.
With heartfelt sympathy,
Tomeraine (over a decade and still couldn't pronounce it...lol) & Family

The strongest , most intelligent, most hard working woman that ever lived , and still holds up those titles in the afterlife. I´ve never met anyone like her and never will. I love my grandma and I will miss her forever.
