Words can't express the sadness that Amari and I feel. We wish we could be there with you all. She touched our lives too in so many ways. Amari says, " she was like my real grandma." She was definatly a mother figure to me through so many events in my life. She had no problem telling it like it is. She loved her baby Aniyah and Aniyah loved her too. Thank you Matthew, Raquel, Monique, Erica, Cindy, and Shada for sharing your wonderful mom with us. We love you all so very much. Don't be strangers. We are still family. May God grant you peace in such a sad/difficult time. If you need me for anything just call. I'm far away but only a phone call away.
