My heart is truly, truly sadden by the the homegoing of you MS. Louise.
You were like a mother to me and your children my lil brothers and lil sister. Children look to the hills for which cometh your all of your health (to get you through this) comes from the LORD.
Gone are the days growing up on Sala Ave.
All of the old are dying. Those were truly the good old days. Especially when you would go looking for your children
with your belt before the street lights came on. I love you dealy and will truly miss you dearly. You did a wonderful job raising your children.
