Now, I know how it feels to lose a Mother. Not only a Mother but my go to lady, a shoulder to cry on lady, my confidant, the lady that birthed me, the lady who loved me unconditionally, the lady who raised me to be the phenomenal woman that I am today. Thank you Mommy! I was being selfish to not let you go but God had better plans. This pain is truly unbearable but God got me. I thank God for your life. He Blessed me to have you for 71yrs. U were able to enjoy your grands and great-grandchildren. Until we are together again, this is see you later not good-bye. I love you Forever💙...your only Daughter Keisha Manning
