I will always remember the first time I met Mama, it was at Christine's Homecoming and she welcomed me in as if I had know her for years. I have never forgotten that night and every time I talk to Jo Jo, I always ask how Mama is. She was a very special lady to me. May God wrap her and the family in His loving arms. You will be dearly missed.

Grandma- Perfect from head to toe. The perfect definition of what we should all aspire to be like. A mind so open to accept anyone for who they are, a heart that loved without conditions, shoulders stronger than any man, Arms long enough to embrace us all at once, A back so strong and able to provide for anyone in need. I am forever grateful for all our memories, the gift of strength and most of all showing all of us how to love and be the best person we can be. I will forever cherish every second with you! Nina

Mom, You are the best friend I have, an inspiration & the best role model as a true parent. You taught me to always put my children & family first & above everyone else. I will always hope to be a fraction of all the wonderful qualities in my lifetime. I hoe to be as strong as you have always been. I will look up to the heavens & know that you are still watching over all of us. Forever in my heart & thoughts & never forgotten. I love you , mom..

She was the best Grandma anyone could ever ask for. My Grandma had enough love in her heart to bless everyone. She raised my momma, helped raise me and then helped raise my son. My heart physically hurts. My world has already changed. I will adore her to my last breath. May she be at peace and finally rest. Another angel to look over us.
