"My deepest sympathy for the lost of your precious daughter and to you Reid always remember how much your mom loves you, God bless you precious young man. Love from Great auntie CarolynMorton

There are not enough words to describe how much love I had for Antoinette. My cousin. My best friend. My first pen pal. My oldest daughters Godmother/more like an auntie. My maid of honor. My hair stylist consultant. My book reviewer. My workout accountability partner. My nutritionist. My care giver when I had surgery in Texas.

Our Grandfathers were brothers and Antoinette filled the void of me having two brothers and no sister. I could depend on Antoinette for what appeared to be random text/phone calls/FaceTime and they would always be filled with care, laughter and love. For just under 6 months, we are the same age and she couldn't effectively tease me about being older.

May our God of love, joy, hope, patience, kindness and long suffering give all who mourn you a peace that transcends ALL understanding that is described in Philippians 4:7.

Our family is forever changed but we must thank God for the time that He blessed us with you.

With God's unfailing love,

Tia (Burroughs) Birt

Cynthia, Reid, Yvette and family, No words can take away the sorrow that you bear. May God sustain you in your hour of need and grant you inner peace. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Bruce & Catherine Washington and Mrs. Catherine Mills
