How can one say goodbye to their best friend, spiritual guide, supporter, prayer warrior, giant slayer and overall mother. For many years you have lead and guided me to the Truth. You told me that if I stay in the place with God nothing can be unattainable! In those same years we traveled together, worshipped, and had many great times. Forever together! The most notable moment I needed you the most was when Nod died. Your prayers and strength continued to hold me together. Two years later it's your time. I have the most precious moments that I am forever grateful for. Mommy I love you and I will see you again!!!!

I love you Nama. I miss you Nana and Papa. Love, Alana
