Obituary of Robera Noble

`xáátzxá gÉ `ÉÅÅt To My Momma, Your strength, your courage, drive and determination to complete all the things you put your mind to was always displayed in my childhood on into my adulthood. The things you showed me, I carry on in my day-to-day life and smile knowing I got them from you and I value that. thank you for being my mother, thank you for believing in me, thank you for always supporting me and doing it genuinely with a smile that showed how proud you were of me. You bragged about me as your son so I’m bragging about you as my momma. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH MOMMA. The laughs we shared are priceless and I loved making you laugh. We share the same laugh so with that, we will laugh together FOREVER. Your son Jermaine To My Momma, You were my lifeline, my gateway into this world. No words can express how much you will be missed. Until we meet again. Your son Onchie To My Momma, You are my light that shines bright, the air that I breathe, the wind beneath my wings. Momma you are my heartbeat. The memories and life lessons you’ve given me are priceless. We laughed together, we cried together and there is nothing you won’t do for me and nothing I won’t do for you. You taught me strength, courage and wisdom. You taught me poise, grace and how to respect myself and carry myself with respect. Not to mention, don’t let no man take advantage of me, or do me wrong! How to survive is an understatement because not only do I have life by the balls, I can honestly say I’m going to be alright without you. Momma I salute you for being the Queen that you are, always making time for me and always listening to me tell you, my stories. You are indeed my hero. To My Day 1; Thank you for being the perfect example of the true essence of a woman that I needed in life. It is because of you that I am who I am, that I have accomplished what I have accomplished, that I have what I have. My Backbone. YOU ARE EVERY WOMAN. Say hi to Granny, Grandaddy, Carmen, Shirley, Lela, Sandra and Deborah Watson for me Momma! Love you forever and ever. Your daughter Mercedes To My Momma, Thank you for always supporting and encouraging me, whether I’m pursuing a passion or facing a challenge. You were always someone I could count on. You were my biggest cheerleader. Only someone who truly loves you would come to your high school Football Games and sit on the hard bleachers after having an open back surgery. One thing I’ve inherited from you that I admire the most is your strength. I’ll be strong for all my siblings but most importantly for Mercedes. I’m glad you were able to spend time with your granddaughter Alanni during your last days. Thank You for allowing me to be there when you took your last breath. You fought until the end. I don’t have any regrets. I can grieve knowing I tried my hardest to be the amazing son you know I could be. I love you momma and I’m going to miss you dearly. Love Always. Your son Alicestair

I have so many things to see and do, You must not tie yourself to me with tears. Be happy that we had so many years. I gave you my love, you can only guess, How much you gave me in happiness. I thank you for the love you each have shown, But now it’s time I travel alone. So, grieve a while for me, if you grieve you must, then let your grief be comforted by trust. Its only for a while that we must part, So, bless the memories within your heart. Obituaries by Mack Enterprises Unlimited 323.789.6224
