Add A Condolence

I am still struggling to process that Cousin Sabrina and her mother, Cousin Jense, transitioned within a week of each other. Seeing Sabrina's her picture brings tears to my eyes. Her light was just as bright as her mother's. Both of their little lights ALWAYS shined. They each had a special air about them which put everyone around them at ease. They were both loyal, giving, kind, energetic, and personable. I will miss them both dearly!

I spoke with Cousin Jense about two weeks before she passed. I talked to her (and chuckled) about her sneaking out during the pandemic to catch the bus to go to play bingo. Even in her 90s she still was fiesta and negotiating life on her terms. She promised me she was going to "behave" so she would not upset Sabrina. Wow, Sabrina did not play about her mom. She wanted to ensure she stayed healthy so she could be with us as long as possible. I last spoke to Sabrina the day her mother passed. She cried on the phone with me and told me she wasn't ready for her to go. My heart ached for her because I know the loss of a mother all too well. I again phoned Sabrina the day before she passed. She answered but there was an issue with the line and she was supposed to call back. I wished I'd phone her back My grandmother spoke with her later on that same day. She phoned me to let me know she was concerned about Sabrina. She said that she let Sabrina know I had told her I'd tried to reach her earlier and she shared that Sabrina said would promised to visit. It is so like Sabrina to be worried about everybody else even when she is going through stuff. The next morning my grandmother called me with the news.

I will miss my cousin-friend-tax consultant. She always encouraged me, told me she was proud of me, and looked out for me whether I was stateside or abroad. I am conjuring love and peace and healing for Reggie, Josh, and Samario. I am sending heartfelt condolences to you three and the rest of the family from California.

Love, Cousin Nini (Cora's granddaughter)

My sincere condolences to Sabrina's family, friends, loved ones, and Between Friends Book club. I am praying for strength, peace, and understanding for each of you. Sabrina you will be missed. Sleep on my sister until we meet again. Love you Queen. Tracy Harris-BFBC

I met Sabrina through the Circle of Friends bookclub, and just year in January a few of us met for lunch in Buckhead and had the best time laughing and talking...and made plans for same time next year! Never thought one of us wouldn't be here. Another reminder that life is too short and should never be taken for granted. Sabrina will surely be missed, my condolences to her family. Linda Dozier
