To The Beautiful Woman I Learned To Call Mom, you were that Mom to me at the very beginning. You treated me like a daughter and allowed me to be part of your immediate family, for that special care I want to thank you and your children. I remember how you took care of me right along with your children, the way I followed you everywhere you went and it never bothered you. I love you and will miss you dearly, but I will carry those memories always. Rest now, GOD has chosen to pick one of his best fruits from the tree of Life
Love your Goddaughter Claudette Walker
