There are so many memories that come to mind when I think about my bigmama. She was Pure Sugar, Pure Love she was and will Forever be My Mama and as I continue on without her I know that she is always with me. But as Bigmama always does she always leaves you with a word a scripture . and I was home weeping one night she gave me: John 14:1-3 Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. Enjoy your mansion Bigmama you earned it Regina
