Mama, you are such a strong woman. Your body, the flesh has left this earth, but your soul will live on. Your will to overcome barriers was impeccable. I believe I inherited that strong will from you. You lived the full circle of life, like you always said, “once a man, twice a child”. I’m sure that you are very vibrant right now at that meeting place with my mom. Let her know how much we miss her. Don’t you worry yourself; King and I will be ok, I know, he’s your baby. We have a lifetime of memories to keep us going until we meet you and P again. I’m happy that you were surrounded by love and home with us until the very end. I only hope that I will live the circle of life that you did, you remained strong, and self-sufficient pass the age of 98. AMAZING!
I will miss your presence here on earth, but I know that King and I have another guardian angel watching over us.
Love you, Mama.
Until we meet again.
Always, your Sheryl

No words can express how i love you both in life and in death. You were the real MVP as you were the older versión of me, sassy and smart mouthed and that is what i loved about you. You were always very verbal and expressive but you spoke the plain truth whether we liked it or not. You lived a long full life and left a trail of memories behind. I sure will miss that contagious laugh and vibrant pesonality. Tell mom hi for me and ya’ll continue to watch over us. I celebrate the life that you lived, as you left an indemnible mark. Rest well Aunty and walk good..

SIP Aunt Edna, I remember us visiting her in July & Sharane suggested that we went in as strangers to see if she would recognize us & indeed she did. I said Hello & in a minute she called me by my name. You live a full life and a spirited one too. Sleep in peace my aunt. You are sadly missed, but I will cherish all the fun memories I share with you.
