Add A Condolence

Auntie Wheeze,

Thank you for being a devoted mother, a loving sister, a caring aunt, and a supportive great-aunt. Your love was a gift that touched our hearts in ways words can never fully express. Your warmth, your presence, and the love you shared with our family will forever be cherished.

It is so difficult to accept that you are no longer here with us. Your absence leaves a void that can never be filled, but the beautiful memories you gave us will remain in our hearts forever. I will miss you more than words can say, and I will carry your love with me always.

I love you dearly, Auntie Wheeze. I pray that you are resting peacefully and that you know just how deeply you were loved.

~Samala "Mel" Dawson-Robinson
