I don't know why I'm watching the episode of your passing for the 4th time, I feel such a connection to you. Is it because my name is Vera Louise? You also share my brother's birthday Oct 2nd. We are so much alike sis. I'm called Mama Vera, and I say what's on my mind with no problems. And also were the same age..I pray to meet you in heaven sis, and I pray that God blesses your kids and keep them until you all meet again.

Hello Big Freedia, I just started watching your show a few weeks ago. The best reality show I've seen. Some of my sorority sisters told me last week your mother had passed. I'm watching the marathon on Fuse now. I am sending prayers to you and your family. I am seeing on the show that you loved your mother with all of your heart. Cherish that. I lost my mother in 1987. We weren't close, but were establishing a relationship before her untimely death. I cherish the time we had. God bless you.

My dearest cousin, friend, sister, HOW do I say goodbye, knowing that you're really gone. The bible says to be absent from the body and to be present with The Lord, and that is what gives me peace, knowing that you are in the presence of God. The 1am phone calls already missed...you will forever be in my heart....tears:(
