Doodle, I will always remember visiting you at Jackie's office. You were always kind to me and took your time to talk to me.
I remember you telling me when I got the boys that if I needed anything to please let you know,that was so sweet of you.
The last time I saw you was at Bayview Baptist Church service and we spoke for a few moments . I'm at a loss for words for Jackie, Pastor Reggie and especially Jeremiah.
Losing your mom is so hard and I pray for your family and friends. You were loved and will be missed but we all have peace in knowing you are with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and reunited with Johnny . May you rest in peace knowing you were loved by so many.
