I hear you now calling me saying you need to take care of business. And I would tell you I am I’m doing this with this. To the person that always held me accountable for me being great I watch you I study you and I learned from you. You always believed in me when I didn’t see it. You always had my back no matter what. I know I could always call and get some great advice when it was time for me to make a decision in my next step in life. You would listen but also break down what was needed. I know I will always miss you. I enjoy the time we had together just hanging running around. What a blessing to be able to show what being a hustler was you was always up to something no matter what. And today I know where I get that from you was my peace when I did have no peace. I thank GOD for let me borrow you for this last 30 years. And I know he has called you home to be with him.

Loving Tribute My girl, my girl, my girl… You broke my heart so bad, but I m at peace with it. You were my ride or die, my heart and some more. I will forever be grateful for you. You were there when I needed someone to vent to, someone to laugh with and someone to enjoy my cows with. It’s going to be different now that you‘re not here, but I know you loved me beyond life. Thank you for the memories and I love you forever and always! Your one and only Diamond

I Loving Tribute could shed tears that you are gone, or I can smile becau se you have lived. I can close my eyes and pray that you’ll come back or I can open my eyes and recognize and appreciate all that you instilled. My heart can be empty because I can’t see you or I can be full of the love we shared. I can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday or I can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. I can remember you and only that you’re gone or I can cherish your memory and let it live on. I can cry and close my mind, be empty and turn my back or I can do what I know my granny wants: smile, OPEN MY EYES, love, and go on. For you Granny, I Love You --Daraien

Loving Tribute The words you spoke so wisely have never been so clear. All the lessons and everything that you taught me will forever remain here. You always encouraged and inspired me to follow my every dream. I know that I’m not alone, you’ll forever be on my team. You’d tell everyone about me, what I was doing, when and how. You preserved every milestone I accomplished, all the way up til now. I’d let you kiss me all over my face, I swear I wouldn’t care, just to have you back with me, just to have you there. You were more than just my granny, you were my best friend. And now you are my guardian angel, and I’ll love you until the end. –Dre

All I ever wanted was to be like you and make you “Proud” of me. What an honor to be called “Little Cookie”. The older I got the more I cherished just being in your presence. I have never known someone as strong as you. No matter what you faced you held your head high and smiled. You are my “SUPER HERO” and always will be! I take the memories we made together and cherish them forever. As hard as it to let you go I know that you are in heaven with no worries. Thank you for showing me how to live, love and laugh. You taught me how to be a woman of grace, a mother of unconditional love, to work hard and let NOTHING stop me from reaching my goals. Your advice came with few words, but your support was limitless.
