Robin, this for you, though we have only met a time or two. Like me, your grandmother was your Mother And your Grandmother. So yes indeed, it is a tremendous loss. Aunt Bill was a Real Teacher of Life and Education. Her voice was always nothing but of peace, and her Loyalty is Unmatched. (uncle cliff). I encourage you to stand Tall w your Head High a your chest out. Keep your Grandmothers words and ways close to your heart. Never Falter. Move off the foundation her words set upon you. Know you are still much loved by her, though she is not in the physical present. I wish the all the strength to carry on Full Force, Like a Phoenix Rising.

To Cliff, Carla, Brenda, Emma! I will always treasure my time when I went with you all to California. I was so appreciative to Mrs. Jackson for inviting me to come. Your mother's kindness was contagious and her memory will live on forever.

Gandmomma you were my Mother and Grandmother. This is a double loss for me. I know that you are doing great in heaven with the rest of the family that made it there. I will miss you until I see you again. I'm happy that you are living in paradise with JESUS but it hurts that you are gone. A part of me is gone because you are not here anymore. You are the only person in this family who understands me and truly care. I have a family of my own now. I will teach my daughter and any future children or grandchildren of mine, what you taught me that was good. I will start with the LORD'S Prayer that you taught me when I was only 3 years old. Gandmomma, I love you and you will forever be in my
