Louis, Latisha, Gregory and Jennifer words can not express the sorrow that I am feeling right now in the flesh but spiritual part of me is really rejoicing because I know without a doubt in my mind that your wife and mother had her life together and that she is now at peace. Slyvia and I shared so many wonderful times together. Jennifer I remember one year after I had my baby, Slyvia had you and she was so happy. I even have a picture of you. Whenever we met we would always sit and talk about our families and spiritual. Your mother was a part of my life from the time accept Jesus as my Lord of my life. She even supported me when I told her I had been called in the ministry. My only regret is that the last time Slyvia and I talked we planned to get together but never got around to it. She loved you all. Louis you had a jewel as as a wife she was truly a Proverb 31 woman. Children and grandchild you had the greatest mother. I will not say do not cry but know that the best part of this all is that she made her peace with God and he has accepted her to be with him. I love you all and know that my prayers are with you.
