I was blessed to have Ms D as my neighbor-- & surrogate mom, for so many years. She was always there, was always the voice of reason, & always made me feel loved. She told me she would begin praying for my safety when she heard me leave on my bike, & didn't stop till I was home safe. I'll miss her so much. I'll always think of her when i hear the birds singing. May she rest in peace.
