To my dear beloved mom!

You have been sorely missed and I continue to live in your strength, grace, and love for Jesus! You were such an inspiration in my life. I missed you mom and wish you were here to make me laugh. You were such a comedian in your own style and fashion. I think about you daily and how much you and I were always together. We have that mother-daughter bond  that I embraced and cherished.

I know you did your best and I never blamed you for anything.  I trusted that you only did what you could to keep a roof over our head and food on our table. You always worked hard since I know you as a little child. 
All the things I have learned is to help me to be a better woman and child of God. You always have Jesus no matter what goes on in your life. No matter the trials and tribulation. No matter what others say about you and do to you. You always keep Jesus at the forefront and that I’m so grateful for.
You are always a praying mother for any of your children , grandchildren, or anyone can always call and ask you to pray and you certainly didn’t hesitate to do so. We could depend on you for the little things especially for prayers, love and comfort. Some may think you were a tough parent but that is ok, cause now I understand the whys…You didn’t want us to deal with what you went through in this life. You just didn’t know how to  love softly but I get it. Sometimes you give us tough love and show your stronger side and I was fine with that too. I have now learn to understand why.

Mama you have been a blessing to a lot of your children and those people kids you raised as well. You have taken in many other people children, you took care and share what little you have with so many. I am grateful that you extended your love, kindness and blessings to others, Even when they don’t recognize it. I know Jesus recognize it. I do not care what others think and believe but you have done your part and did your best. It was hard watching you leave this earth but I know you  are being take care  of and is with the Heavenly Father.
I know you  are resting and working with the angels. God is watching over you now and no need to worry. Thank you mama for being such a blessed mom in my life.
Love and miss you. May your soul RIP in the arms of Jesus.

Mama, you are in our spirits and heart and you will always be remembered. We love and miss you!! Keep on walking with us in spirit. May you stay rested until we meet again mama in heaven. SIP.

Mother is always so generous to everyone she comes across even when she didn’t have it, she would give whatever she could to people in her community those who needed some food. She takes care of all her Neice’s and nephews while she was the only living aunt. She was a blessed giver to anyone who needed help. May you rest peacefully in the arms of Jesus. We love and miss you!

Mother Iris had a beautiful no nonsense spirit and vibe. I am so grateful to have spent time with her. We enjoyed Popeyes fried chicken wings and biscuits, that was our special treat. May your soul rest in eternal peace and joy.

Love Robert and Nadine
