My girl, So thankful for the wonderful memories and amazing times we shared. So encouraged by your FAITH, strength, courage and your relationship with God. That beautiful husband and children God blessed you with. They are such a beautiful reflection of you and where you were in life when you left us. Shed so many tears, but end with a smile because I know God blessed you with a very happy life. Thank you Yori for holding me up when I flew in 2 days before your Mom passed by just keeping in touch with me and your strength and having lunch with Amari was like having lunch with you POSH. Being around them and seeing how you prepared them love, helped me. And those two angels that were at the hospital everytime I came, Jaleslie and her mom, thank you for helping me through her final days, especially Sunday. And thank you Kim, I can tell along with God, Mrs. Lillie and John,her family,pastor and church family you all were instrumental in helping her through her journey and transition.
