Mama so much has happened since you´ve gone on to eternal rest. I really miss our conversations we had about life and your loving and caring way you care for your family. I will always treasure those memories I have of you.

It´s been 13 years since my mother
transitioned on into eternity. God has blessed me with a very good memory and I cherish the many life lessons that she shared with me especially as an adult. Not a day goes by that I don´t draw from her wealth of knowledge and wisdom that God bestowed upon her. I will always be grateful for the many conversations we had about life and what was important.Those who never met my mother and never knew her I couldn´t have asked for a better mother.

My mind is frozen in a snapshot of time that seems more vivid every day. Memories of our life together will always be with me, even though they are no longer matched with your earthly presence you are still missed and will never be forgotten.
Love, Debra.

All of my memories of you are positive and make me smile. Always willing to get whatever snack I liked at the grocery store. Let me sleep in your bed when it was storming. I know you and my dad are enjoying each other's company. He missed you so much. One positive I take from his passing is knowing he got to be with you again. I miss and love you.

Hey Mama
I know you Randy and Daddy are with you now. 2019 was a very hard unexpected year, first loosing Randy suddenly and then loosing Daddy later that year. I continue to miss you and love you. I cherish every memory I shared with you. I know you are saying, Tiff live your life. There is so much I can say, but it would take too long. I love you and God truly broke the mold when he made you. Love your baby girl Tiff

Mama,
Today marks the day some years ago that I got that phone that changed my life forever and now only 15 days ago we lost Randy. I know he is with you and he missed you so very much, just like all of us. Not only is it unreal to not have my mother, but now I have lost a brother.
Mama, My love for you holds no bounds. You were my champion, that strong and gentle force beside me, behind me, always close to me, never letting me go. I know there is no book on how to be a mother, but if there was, you wrote it. I love you sooooooo much. I thank you for being the best mother, "Mama," to a shy, quiet, timid little girl, who became the person I am because of you. I may not do everything right, but I remember so many things you told me, showed me. I will forever miss those conversations, seeing you smile at me, laugh with me, touching me and hearing you say, "Hey Stinka or Hey Smi"
Always your baby

You and Randy will always be in my thoughts and heart. Losing both of you feels so unreal. Unexpected loss is always hard to process. Life will never be the same without you. Love Debra

Mama,
Today would have been your birthday. You know, I miss the conversations that we had. I miss hearing you call me by my nickname, but most of all I miss touching you, doing your hair and seeing your smiling, loving face as you look at me. Even though I know you are happy and free of the pains of this world, its hard not having your mother, the one person who TRUELY knew you and understood you and LOVED you unconditionally. Death is hard for the ones left behind because you are not physically here anymore.
Love you forever, your baby girl.

Mama,
Another Mothers Day has past and I can't help but think about you. I think of the memories we have shared togther as a little girl and now to grown woman. I see how blessed I was to have you as long as I did. You were able to raise and see all your children become adults and have families. That is truly a blessing. To now look back and remember some of the adult conversations we shared, the laughter, the shopping, the cooking, the advice and most of all your unconditional love. Whether we were right or wrong you were there with the guidance and advice we needed. When God thought about what we, your children needed, he made you especially for us. Just like I know each one of your children were made especially for you. My heart is filled with joy when I think about your life lessons, and yes you were right. Mama truly knows best. You were a glowing example of how a mother should be. Thank You for that and for always being there, for knowing something was wrong even when I said everything is ok. Just one look at my face and you knew. That is Gods blessing. My love for you will never die. There will never be another....

Mom,
Today is a day I most think of you, for today is everyday, you are constantly in my heart, and on my mind, I understand NOW more than ever how not having you here has impacted my life, thank you for all the love, compassion, structure, and heart. You are the best Mother I could have had. I love YOU very much

Grandma,
I have learned many lessons in my life but you passing taught me the greatest lesson of all: Love and cherish your loved ones. Simply put, you are irreplaceable. No one can fill your shoes. I didn't get to express this to you while you were here and that is totally my fault but I love you very much. My memories as a child staying at your house are things I will remember and smile back on forever. It didn't matter if you were buying me my favorite snacks at the grocery store, or you letting me sleep in your bed during thunderstorms. You were always very nice and sweet to me. Even though I have my regrets for not being there as much as I should have, please know that my love for you never waivered. I look forward to seeing you again and giving you the biggest hug. You were and still are the best.
Love always,
Terrence Goodson

I will always love you

To my Mother-
My life has never been ordinary since I was birthed by you, how can I say how important you have been in my life, how much you mean to me, and how many days I was able to make it just by knowing that you loved me. I may be known by many with titles, sirs, and names, but the highest expression of love I look for is to know that I am just your son, and you are my Mother.
Thanks Mom, for the times you carried me when I couldn't walk, thanks for the nights when no one else knew , or cared , but you covered me with your love, your kisses, and your warm cormforting embrace.
Thanks mom for always knowing where I was, even though physically I was somewhere else, you always knew how to find me, Thanks mom for never letting go, of a hurting child, with a sensitive heart.
Mom, you were there, when others weren't. And I love you so much for it
Now enter into your rest, you earned it.I will see you again soon....

Although the loss of your mother as I know is difficult to bear, may it help in some small way just to know that I care, and May it bring you added peace to know that every day the comfort of your mother's love is never far way. Cousin Ulean was so beautiful to me and such a Strong Women, and not a follower. I always loved that about her. We have been so BLESSED to have mama's that truly loved us. I regret that I was not able to attend her homegoing but do know she will always have a special place in my heart. All my Love, Cousin Gwen Johnson
