“ A Phenomenal Woman” Mom – you were the world’s most phenomenal woman to us. You were beautiful in character and in physique; perfectly synchronized in the way only, God knows.
Our Mother
Mom – you were an astounding mom with an impressive, uncommon and extraordinary personality. You took up difficult challenges and seen them to completion. Mom – you loved God, your family, and your neighbors. You knew your wealth and planned accordingly. You were not confused as to who you were. You could not be easily swayed or silenced.

Mom – you sought the will and purposes of God in your life, discharging those duties with the best of your abilities. You did your best in life to please God and you lived accordingly to the tenets of your daily faith. Mom – not only were you a phenomenal woman; you were the world’s Most “Extraordinary Mom.” “We will always carry you in our hearts Mom.”

Granny, Granny, Granny… You left me so fast. You didn’t say “Goodbye” or Nothing You just left me. I know that the roads were difficult sometimes, but God kept you a little while longer. I thank God that he let you see the young lady that I have become. Granny, I will miss you so much. Our morning calls, whether it was me calling you first, or you call me. (We didn’t miss a morning without talking). I will miss you very much granny. No more worry or pain for you. I know that I will see you again. I know that you are in a better place. There will always be a piece of my heart missing(you). Granny I will always make you so proud of me and I will always love you!
T’ Calla Your One & Only Grandchild The World Sweetest Mother-In-Law Moma: I Thank God so much for you! Not only were you a mother-in-law (but a mother). You talked to me like a son and treated me like one as well. Momma, I will miss you so much. I thank God for the weeks, months and years he gave me with you to love & cherish “Best Mother-In-Law Ever”
Your Son-In-Law, Terry
When tomorrow starts without me And I’m not there to see; If the sun should rise and find your eyes All filled with tears for me. I wish so much you wouldn’t cry The way you did today; While thinking of the many things We didn’t get to say. I know how much you love me As much as I love you; And each time that you think of me, I know you’ll miss me too. When tomorrow starts without me, Don’t think we’re far apart For every time you think of me, I’m right here in your heart.
“Hi, Love” is when we meet once again and hold one another’s hand in faith. Goodbye Love is when I leave this world to join you once again.
Love Liza, Delois & Ophelia
