I'm so deeply sorry for your loss. Your mother meant so much to me, and I will always be grateful for the love and kindness she showed me. She always treated me like family. Your mother was truly a blessing in my life, and I will always carry those memories in my heart. Please know that I'm keeping you and your family in my prayers and that I'm here for you. Her love, faith, and the way she cared for others will never be forgotten. Lisa
May your light continue shining even in your death. We will surely miss you.
Mary Lou my heart has been heavy since the moment you transitioned, but I know you are with our LORD because you are a true Christian. I miss the morning calls demanding me to get up and ride with you or the phone calls asking me what I was cooking. I will miss the conversations we've had lifting each other's spirit regarding our deceased children. We have laughed, cried, danced, traveled, watched your favorite (Crime channel), shopped and I can't forget dined out. I never had siblings but having you in my life taught me the meaning of being a sister..Rest in Peace.🙏

I am going to miss you. I'm so glad I got to spend your last birthday on earth, with you. This isn't goodbye, this is see you later. I know since you are absent from your body, you are present with the Lord. That gives me comfort and I know I shall see you again. I love you. Your little brother Carlos.

Here are a few places we shared great meals together Sonny's BBque, Country Fisherman , Mama Hamils oh and let me not forget Ichiban. The most thing I'll miss is Morning Keisha just making my Sunday morning call and the love you showed for and to my family . Mary knew I had a song for every occasion .
