As I get ready to say my final goodbyes to my grandmother, my heart is comforted by a memory from my childhood. I always looked forward to visiting her and waking up to the sound of her in the kitchen, sifting flour as she prepared her delicious cheese biscuits. I will forever hold onto these memories of her. With love, Your dearest granddaughter Ruqayyah
Today, reality has set in, and tears fall as I face the difficult task of saying my final goodbyes to my mom. Death is never easy, and its timing is always uncertain. I am deeply grateful to God for the time we shared, recognizing that she belonged to Him before she was mine. I won't be selfish-I thank God for allowing me to have her in my life. Thank you, Mom, for your love, the memories, and the guidance you gave. Those will forever remain in my heart. With love, Your daughter, Bonnie Faye
