Mama it has been 3 months since you have been gone away from us,i am missing you everyday and I still have not mourned over you being gone,the hurt I feel is unbareable and words can't explain the pain I feel everyday,the void I have for you hurts more and more everyday,i wish you were here just to see your smile and laughter,i listen to your voicemails everyday to try to ease some of the pain and it just keeps getting worse for me,a part of me has left when you left you were our MOTHER OUR PROTECTOR OUR GUARDIAN ANGEL,NO MATTER WHAT YOU WERE OUR MOTHER,and I will always miss you forever.......

To my dear friend since the 4th grade in Mrs.Garmon's class at Lincoln School. We met up again in 6th grade Mrs. Garmon's class at Lincoln School. And at last but not least Westside High School. Our lives took on different twists and turns but the friendship was never broken. You will always be in my heart. I'm blessed to have pictures and memories of our friendship.

To the surviving Family I have no words of comfort to give to you that would ease your pain.

MATTHEW 5:4 Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted.
