and friends.
This is a bittersweet time for us all! God makes no mistakes,
you were on call although we’re sad as it seems,
we know you are in heaven with your wings.
Words can’t describe how we feel, this one (right here) is so unreal so,
Priscilla we want you to know we love you and miss you
and hate to see you go.
(God got you though) Forever in our hearts.
~Love always, your mother Marie
and siblings Cliff, Cynthia and Paula
I still see your face before me, your voice I long to hear; with each passing day
I miss you more and more my dear. The emptiness I feel inside, God knows,
I wish you were here. As tears fall freely from my eyes, like a river filled with
grief knowing I have memories give me a sign of relief. I'm happy I've made you
proud of the woman I've grown to be, as you look down you see great strength
is still within me. I'll miss your text as I vacation throughout the year
"Tiffany, where are you going now?, Send me more pictures, you look so
beautiful" are text messages I'll hold dearly to my heart that I'll never again
see. I'll miss your compliments, just you being overjoyed with my many
accomplishments and you letting it be known just how proud you were of your
children. Go on mom and rest, rest peacefully without worries; you know I have
my siblings and your grandchildren. God has you in his keeping,
I'll always have you in my heart.
~Love Your Oldest Daughter Tete
We never got to say goodbye. We wish we could go back in time to just talk
and laugh with you. We wish we could hug you one last time.
We will miss you dearly. We know in our hearts you’ll forever be with us.
We are going to miss seeing you on the couch watching ID Investigation while
yelling at your grandchildren. You always cheered us on and supported us in
every way possible. You’ll never be forgotten and always in our hearts.
~Love your Daughters Nene and Lele
Tomorrow, tomorrow that’s something that
isn’t promised, yes God I’m thankful for the
time she had with us.
Such a beautiful spirit such a beautiful soul
that’s one person I know who kept her
family whole.
So much pain and grief we feel in our
hearts. She doesn’t want us like this cause
it’ll tear her apart.
She’s where the sky and the moon and the
stars are held and we’ll hold ourself
together cause she did it so well.
I love you mama, I love you grandma and
this isn’t goodbye cause
you’ll forever be in our hearts
til the end of time.
~Love MookMan, Sniglett,
