Mommy, I’m missing you like crazy and I think about you everyday. Life has been a little difficult navigating through without you, but I try to keep pushing just like you expect me to do. I’m still going to continue to make you proud, but I wish I still had you here in the physical form to see it all through. I love you with everything in me...

I just recently learned of Denise's passing on to Glory. She was one of the most kind hearted people that I know. She had such a humble and sweet spirit. I was always uplifted when I would chat with her at work. I will truly miss her, but God has her now. Praying for her children and other family members.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Hey Grandma , I just want you to know that I love you with everything in me. This is by far the hardest thing I ever had to deal with in my life, I’m empty, I’m broken , I’m confused but I know God has me & the family, he will get us through this but this is a pain that will never go away . We all will make you proud, I love you so much “sugar dumpling” as you would say . Watch over me & the family , I Love You .
