A Letter from Mama

My sweet baby Aubrey. I hate that you’ve gone away so suddenly. It wouldn’t be you to not make an exit the way you did, being that you love attention, and the attention was and still is on you. You’ve touched many people’s lives with your warm smile and beautiful face. I don’t and can’t imagine the pain you’ve had all these years, but no matter what, you always smiled and laughed. I’ve watched you grow so much. I’ve seen you fight so hard. There have been so many scares we’ve had, but you’ve always pulled through. I remember being at your Mimi job back when she worked with special needs adults. Even with me being so young, I remember that they couldn’t do the things I do. Then, Kya from my church and my elementary school, I used to go by the SPED class and check on her and my elementary best friend, Kennedy. The Most High allowed me to experience special needs individuals at a very young age. Now I know The Most High was preparing me for YOU! You were such a blessing, the brightest light you could think of; it was just so much u were dealing with, and you kept a smile on your face or laughed. It didn’t matter what it was. I don’t know your pain, but every moment I had with you brought me such happiness. I’ve been so down and came in there with u and u make everything just so much better. We have been through so much; we literally grew up together, all the good times and the bad times, in and out of the hospitals, sleepless nights, we made a way out of no way. I’ve watched you be a baby and mature into a little lady. You’ve definitely fought to beat the odds with a smile on your face and received all my love, and that’s why you came so far, and out of all the love I gave you, you gave me even better love back. I know nobody will ever love me the way you did .. Nothing in life will compare to the love you gave me and the love I gave you. You taught me so much. You are a smart, beautiful girl. Mama loves you so much. But No more pain for you! The Most High knows he got Jaxton and me so messed up. What are we going do with you not being home? He misses you so much and has all these big plans for your future. We are definitely going to miss you laughing at us being silly and the movie times we had. Even though the most high made his decision on what’s best for you, I thank him for giving me this life and trusting me with you! I love you, my moo, for infinity, and in every lifetime, I know I will soon ascend, and whenever that time comes, I’ll have two beautiful angels waiting on me!

Life’s Reflections

Aubrey Evette Slaughter was born February 13, 2013, to her parents, Isha Slaughter and Terence Beckwith Jr. She departed life on August 18, 2024. Aubrey was known for her beautiful smile and joyous laughter. To some, she was known as Aubrey; to family and close friends, she was Brey or Breezy. To her mom, she was simply Moo, Moo-Moo, or Angel Cat.

Aubrey was baptized on Father’s Day, June 16, 2013, at Bethel A.M.E. Church under the leadership of Rev. Barbara S. Green. Aubrey was a pure blessing and a miracle. She attended Shrine School from pre-K up to becoming a 6th grader this year. We all know that Aubrey was one of God’s special angels, but that did not stop her mom from celebrating her life every year with great birthday parties. We watched Aubrey go from a crying little toddler to a prankster pre-teen. She will truly be missed, but the memories of her will always be in our hearts. It gives us great joy to know that she and her twin are reunited.

She leaves to cherish her memories of her mother, Isha Slaughter, along with Jaxton Bell, who assisted her mom with caring for her. Her father, Terence Beckwith Jr.; her grandparents, Geoffery Sr. and Wendy Williams and Keeva Johnson; an aunt, Kaitlyn Johnson; an uncle Geoffery Williams Jr.; four great-aunts, Alisha Jamerson, Renee Slaughter, Samantha Slaughter, and Amy Burnett (Tony), great-grandparents Willie and Thelma Slaughter, Arthurine Williams, and LuAndrew Williams (Christine) and a host of cousins, more family members, and friends.

Special thanks to the nurses of Maxim Health who really and truly took care of Aubrey as if she were theirs. Thanks especially to Nurse Phylis and Nurse Denise because they hung around with that little diva the longest.

(Respectfully, Two Minutes Please)

Aubrey, my lil stink. My baby girl, Daddy, is going to miss you so much. That big smile, your energy you had. Thank you for countless memories of hitting, kicking, and watching football with me. I will cherish all your pics and all the times we had. I saw you fight as a little girl, and for that, I will give my all every day. To fight and be better. You showed what it’s like to not give up, and for that, I’m grateful. I will always love you. You and your sister will forever be my first love.

To you and Amaya, Love Forever, Daddy Girls
