Missing you Mama my "STAR"
August 30, 2010
Mama,
I now know the beauty and meaning of being together until the end.
This is a lesson that could only be learned this way. You are my Star and a Light in my life that will forever "SHINE". You always understood and encouraged my sense of "Wonder" about our Wonderful World, The talent/gifts I've been given and what all I could achieve if I had Faith in GOD, myself and trusted that you would always guide me. I thank you for teaching me about kindness and compassion and that I do not have to suffer fools..........just be kind, stay focused help as many people as I am assigned then keep on my journey.
I know how Blessed I am and it's not based in celebrity that is one of my blessings due to the Beauty of The Music We send out into the World.
It's that I have a heart that has been nurtured so that with success I know it's value and that I am to build to create entities that help people nurture and maintain their lives. To contribute to the shaping of Goodness in our Society and to do it in a manner that compliments me so that I am authentic and consistent.....no man is an Island one simply must do their part.
I love our Family have such gratitude for our elders and for the love our family has for us. Nene and I console one another at times and sometimes Mia is with us and we cry or laugh maybe it's both since you have given us so much to work with....lol. Andrea, Mia, Kenneth,Eric, Anita and myself are your children who are feeling our way through our loss of you here, yet are holding on to your presence in our hearts and no doubt our personalities.
You are so missed Mama and I think of what you are doing "Living In The Light Of GOD" what are your days like.....smile.
I love you sooooo much and I cry everyday and yet I also smile because we are blessed to have shared so much.
I leave you messages on your phone still just to hear your voice and it makes me feel better. I am traveling, building a Beauty Company, recording a new project and plenty more to keep me productive however It pales in comparison to missing you Mama.
When I travel now, I remind myself that your free and your traveling with me...........smile.
There is no separation in LOVE I know this for sure........I feel you Mama we are still connected we just live in different realms for now.
Sometimes I look in the mirror and I see you.....I gaze as long as I can to capture the moment for it is so very special..........I love you and I am thinking of you.
Love you more than I could ever convey in words yet my heart overflows continuously and pours into your "Spirit".
I trust GOD Mama..I know HE knows Best Always and Jesus shall continue to heal my heart.
Missing you Dearly,
Adrian

Mama,I was thinking about you today as I do EVERY DAY. I always smile when I think of you, then I cry when I think of not seeing you here on earth again. I am truly blessed that you were here for me when I had Alexis. I remember telling you that now I know how much work it is being a mother (and a wife), I remember feeling a special bond that only we shared on my new journey with motherhood. Alexis talks about you all the time. She misses you too. She wore your white cowboy hate to school for hat and sunglass day last week and she almost looked as good as you. Thank you for your wisdom. Life truly taught you a lot and you shared it all so openly with everyone. Thank you for the character you instilled in me and my amazing siblings. Thank you for the gift of my sisters and brothers. I love them so much and you know that I will look out for them and we will always stick together. And while I knew you lit up a room and were cherished by others, I was still blown away to hear all the kind words at your memorial service and to read all of the messages of love in this guest book. You will never be forgotten. I know that you and Jack are smiling down on us daily and even in heaven, you are proud of us. I love you Mama.

Adrian, I want to send my condolences in the lost of your Mother. Mothers are gifts from the Lord to give love, raise, teach, and instruct us in the way of the Lord. I'm sure your mother gave that plus more because it's reflected through your ministry of music and writing. As you celebrate your Mother's legacy we're praying that God will give you and your entire family the strength needed during this part of your life's journey.

I would like to say that a mother is the most precious thing that God has given us, while we have this little time on earth. But we realize that God had her first and it was in his time, that he called her back. Your mother is alway's with you and she will be there when he call us back. My utmost sympathy goes out to you, let go and let God. Max The One Man Band.

Mama Nita,
I have been in a haze every since I received that most dreaded phone call. You are such a special lady, confidant and cherished friend. I cannot imagine being unable to pick up the phone and hear your voice on the other end or share in our frequent chats. I will fondly remember our last conversations that were filled with laughter, secrets and nuggets of wisdom. Thank you for always making me feel special and beautiful. I also thank you for the gift of a brother and considering me as your daughter. And yet my greatest thanks is for you being uniquely Juanita. I will never wear strappy heels or red lipstick in the same way. I love you. ~Tay

Adrian I have know idea what you all must be going through in losing what I think is the most important compass in life. I know your mom was that to you. With her loss comes so many layers of heartache. Please know my heart is open to anything you might need during this time of incredible loss. Words truly fall short of my sorrow. I am speechless. MaMa's loss is beyond words. She was such a lovely woman. I think often about all the times we shared together and all the amazing conversations we had. The duets she, Jack and I would sing together. And to know their singing together again just tickles my heart. She was such a pleasure to be around. I have learned so much from her and will remember her always. The greatest compliment we can give to her is to live our life and keep her memory alive. When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure. I know that death causes a heartache that no one can heal but her Love has left memories that no one can steal. The sun will shine for you again my friend. Until then Adrian, NeNe, Mia and all GOD's speed..

Juanita was a very special lady. She kept up my spirits as my husband went through dialysis, and she was the bright light of the clinic. She was always so positive and upbeat. She was SO very proud of her children. She loved life and I am sure she is singing and dancing in heaven. She will be missed.

"Mama Nita"...may you rest in eternal peace, you are in good company. I remember the first time that I met you, I was about 11 yrs old; Adrian and I were classmates and I came to your house...I thought to myself "wow, she looks like a movie star!" You carried yourself with such grace and dignity, truly a role model for many. You are a true D.I.V.A (Divine Intellegent Vibrant Angel). I NEVER saw you with a hair out of place. Although several years have past and I haven't seen you in some time...I will always remember your dreamy eyes, flawless complexion and beautiful smile. I pray that God comforts your family and friends while they celebrate your life today. God Bless You and you will be missed by many!

I met Ms. Nita in 1977 when my family and I moved next door to her and her family on Mather AFB. That was the beginning of a longtime friendship with her and her wonderful children. Ms. Nita was 1 of a kind! I will always remember her talks with me about life,family, and my beautiful daughters who she always complimented about their beauty and brains. I love you, Ms. Nita!!

Thankyou for being such an important person in my life Nita...I'm gonna miss you SO MUCH. I hear you singing, and as always it's like heaven to my ears.

To my good friend Eric and family. My love and prayers are with you during this time and always. I remember when I met you and Rapone at Sac State and us becoming friends. You thought enough of me to bring me over and meet your mother and family. And here we are 20 years later with our own families. Your mother was a special woman because she was so special with her children. You could see the LOVE and time she put into her children and how they gave that right back. The few times I was around your mother, I saw where all the kids got their style and flare from. She will truly be missed! I love you my brotha and I am here for you during this trying time.

Juanuta was a great lady. I loved talking to her. I am going to miss seeing her when my mom picked her up from dialysis. She would always give me a few dollars here and there,even if I didn't want to take it. She was so giving, and was so bubbly. I wish I could have seen her more, but I know the time I did see her will be cherished. I know Juanita is in heaven, and dancing like no tomorrow. I can't wait to see her again someday. I will always love her,and never forget her.

I knew Juanita for such a short time. I met her at the clinic and admired her so. She touched me and I considered her my mentor. She loved life and expressed life in such a eautiful way. I looked and listend to Juanita and she lightened up the room. I will miss her. My prayers goes up to the family.

My Mother was and is a great "Lady" in every sense of the word. Her spirit was so much to be admired. It hasn't been a week since my mom passed but, the pain is so intense that it is hard for me to concentrate on my work or anything else. My mom is a trend maker, her style will last forever. I love you so much mom and it is okay that you are not here to give me more lessons about life. I will share all of your teachings to Ariana and any future children to come.
your son,
Timothy Eric
