I’m so sorry that I’m not able to come home for the homecoming! I had the pleasure of meeting & getting to know her when Tracye & I became friends back in tenth grade! Thanks to her allowing us to raid her fridge…I’ve learned to “MASTER” Lima Beans! She’ll definitely be missed! Even after we became Mothers ourselves we could always go to her place when Tracye came up to Milwaukee to eat & hang out! She was such an AMAZING Mom!
You’ve got your wings so Rest Peacefully In Heaven “Weezie” I’m going to miss the calls from Tracye telling me the things you said & did! ?❤️

Aunt Weeziee,
We will forever miss you. May you find glory in heaven as you are reunited with our heavenly family. Thank you for letting me drive your Trans Am; it was awesome! Having you in our lives was like having to mothers because you were always there to feed or smack us which ever was needed. Rest in peace until we meet again. 1 Timothy 1:17 “Now to the king eternal , immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.”
