My sis, you was my role model. I'm going to miss our talks, singing, and our every day talks. You told me that mama was waiting for you and I wouldn't go, but I guess God wasn't for ready me . He knew it wasn't my time. He left me behind because I had a job to do. You know you'll be fine with mama, daddy, your sister and two brothers. Rest my sis, and my best friend. I'm going to miss you dearly. I love you as I told you every day.

Ms. Cora...a beautiful, classy lady who has been apart of my life since I met Carlethia at Ms. Sissy's house during the summers in Beaufort. Always stylish when you worked at Cato's. Loved coming to your house in Harlowe as a child where it was always welcoming and full of love.

To Mr. Joe, Carlethia, Lil'Joe, and Carmella, she will always be with you whether it is a smile, a laugh, a memory...her light will never fade. I send you prayers of comfort and peace. May God soothe your pain, heal your heart and turn your grief into happiness to help you know she is safe in his arms.

Mommy I light this candle in the color of blue because I know was your favorite color and if I could decorate it, it would be of leopard prints because I knew how you loved the designs in fashion. I'm still at disbelief of your absence . I miss you so much especially when your health started to decline, no more calls or looking into my eyes. You fought a good fight momma but I know you was tired. Rest on my incredible strong mother, I promise you I will cherish your life and do as I was taught until we reunite again in Heaven . I love you eternity
