Condolences & Tributes

Add A Condolence

There is nothing more precious than the blessing from God than to be blessed with a loving Mother! A Mother who instills values that last a Lifetime! Values that teach us about Life and Love, how to cope and succeed during our valley moments, remaining humble as God blesses us, to be a blessing to others, and just always wanting to receive a blessing, training up our children and grandchildren in the ways of God so they will always fear Him, how to work hard but smart, to have the things you want and need, and how to give respect and expect it in return. "A GOOD MOTHER IS A RARE JEWEL THAT WILL NEVER GROW OLD!" I thank God Ms. Justina, for the way your Mom instilled so much love into you, and how you share and spread the same type of love to others. May each day remind you of the many lessons on Life that she taught you! Gone but not forgotten🙏🏽🫶🏽
