    Mom you were the light in my life from the time I was born. I will cherish your memory in my heart for all eternity. I wish you peace and happiness in your final rest as you find those who have gone before you. Dad was waiting patiently for you and now you are reunited with your best friend. I love you with all my heart now and forever. I will miss you all the days of my life, like no other… There is another hole in my heart, and another branch fallen from our family tree. 💔

    Betty Boop my dear cousin and friend. You are now with the Lord surrounded by people you love. Reunited with Darryl for all eternity ❤️. You were always a hoot to be around, always smiling, always loving. I am going to miss our FaceTime chats, laughter and tears. You were a blessing to everyone you met, now you are an Angel of God. RIP Beautiful. Know that I love you with all my heart

    Jennifer & Kimberly, my heart is so heavy for the loss of your Mom. I can never begin to explain what both of your parents meant to my life. Now that they are both gone, there is an emptiness in my life that will be there forever. We may not have seen each other but just a few times over the years but there was that connection that will last a lifetime and beyond. I wish I could be there to say a final goodbye but with so many underlaying conditions I don’t stay home.
    Let’s be consoled that she is now in the arms of her one true love.
    I love you both.
    Suzie
