To know my mother was to know that you were not leaving her presence without a smile or a good laugh. So we dare not mourn her passing, but instead reflect on the joy, laughter, and memories she gave us. She is now with the King—free from all trouble, all pain, and all sin.
Lord, I thank You for blessing me with the gift of a strong, loving mother. Mommy, you will forever have my heart. And even through spirit, I'll always protect your name.
With all my love, TASHABOO, your babygirl
