Our family will miss you dearly Too. When you married into our family I knew you would be a good dude to my cousin Mona and you proved to be phenomenal to her. Y'all had ups and downs just like all of us but you were always there for her and my nieces Natalie and Luneka. From the beginning of your union to my cousin, they were your daughters; you didn't treat them any differently, you raised and loved them unconditionally. My son Jorelle was so torn up when he heard about your passing just as we all were. When I called him he kept saying Momma not Too, no not Too Momma. The funny thing is he said you left him without a mechanic. Even though you're gone, you were right where you wanted to be at the time of your passing. You were doing what a real man does and that was taking care of your son. We talked for hours when Jr went to the hospital that Saturday night, we talked all through Sunday morning and I could see the worry and pain for your baby all in your face. There's no more worry or pain anymore Too. I'll try and do everything in my power to help Mona with Jr because I know you would have wanted that. I wish you were still here Too. Thanks for all you did for Mona as well as me and my son. Your parents did an awesome job with you Too. Words cannot begin to explain what your loss signifies in the lives of your family. Rest Well Too!!!
