I was Aimee's lifemate and best friend for over five years, and loved her more than she will ever know. I sadly miss her presence and know that by the Grace of God, she knows my life has an empty spot as a result of her passing. It is hard to pass her apartment without taking a moment to think about all of the good times we shared and trials we endured. Aimee, I will be there soon and will keep you in my heart forever. God Bless You.

We were very sadden to learn of Aimee's death. She lived by us on Parkwood Avenue for many years. We knew her ever since her mom, Mrs. Moon lived next door to us. May God grant you peace at this time.

A wonderful woman has passed on to the arms of the Lord. I only knew her for a short time but there was nothing she wouldn't do for me. I loved her in a special way and look forward to seeing her again in Heaven. I am Charles Roakes' girlfriend (her oldest son) and by the Grace of God I got to know Aimee. Have a safe trip Aimee and know that we all loved you.
