To my family Lynnette and Toni and Rodney I was so sad when I got the call that mummy had gone on to be with the Lord,my sisters and brother loved mummy like she was our own mother I will always cherish the time we shared with mummy I remember when I had my first son and mummy gave me my first baby shower my mother whom mummy called bootsie where always together we loved mummy and the last time we saw her she reminded us of how proud she was of us all the word of God says to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord so mummy rest in peace and to my family may the Lord continue to keep and strengthen you all.

My family, words can't express how I am feeling right at this very moment. I am so happy that God gave me the gift of knowing our beloved Mummy!!! I thank Him and praise Him for He's an Awesome God, and He knew that I, losing my own mother, needed the love and guidance of someone and God gave me Mummy. She has been an inspiration to me and my family!!! I appreciate all that she has done for me. She shared her love with many of us and I am grateful!!! I will miss her sweet voice as she say," Hey , hey my girl how are you?" Mummy , you've always encouraged me to keep on keeping on in the Lord and I love you so much. Sleep in Paradise my Mother!!! Rest In Jesus!!!!!

In Your Pocket

You all have memories in your pockets.
They rattle among the change.
Your memories of her are treasures you all carry wherever you go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give you all comfort when you think you are alone.
Yes, You all have memories in your pockets, like so much other stuff you keep there.
But of all the treasures you have, it´s the memories of her that are the most precious.
