Mother Dear: Your smile, your wisdom and encouragement were so precious to me. Your joy in sunshine, rain, good and bad seasons taught me. Your faithfulness to your family and your legacy inspired me. Your belief and faith in the power of the Highest, Yahweh, to enable you daily with capability rejuvenated me. Your dance showed me that gratefulness was so much better than sorrow. Your heart showed me your likeness of your Creator and I hope I'm half the woman you were in this life, momma. Alexander and I love you and are so grateful for you. We will miss you, but we are so joyful and rejoice for you. Rest in peace. 'Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.' Matthew 25:21; Revelation 21:1-5.
Love Always, Alex, Lindora, Steven, Darrion and Jonathan
