To You Mother
To My Nanny
Mother, you were just a girl so many years ago. You had your loves and had your dreams, you watched us come and go. You watched us make the same mistakes, that you had made before, but that just made you hold us tight and love us all the more. We haven’t always thought about the things that you have seen. To us you’ve just been ‘Mother’, no thought of who you’ve been. But we remember now in love your life from start to end and we’re just glad we knew you as Mother and also as a Friend. Love, Janoy, Stacey and Richard
To my Best Friend: I’ve always wondered how I would do it without you. You made my heart so warm every time I seen your face or heard your soft beautiful voice. It would make me smile and feel better that whole day. 20 years you have been my best friend and I am so thankful for that. I’ve learned so much from you, I’ve had so many laughs, and so many amazing memories. You helped mold me into the goofy loving young lady I am today. I know that you will always be with me, watching over and helping me through. I will continue to go forward in this world and make you proud, I promise. I love you so much Nanny. P.S. I still believe I was secretly your favorite! Your Bestest Friend, Shaila
Hello Granny Dear Grandma, I love you. I am happy you were always on my side from the day I was born. I was a little annoying but I never not once worried about me. You made me do stuff that I was scared of and you supported me. I want you to know whether you are in heaven with God or on earth. I love you!!!! Love, Bailey
Dear Grandma, I miss you. I did not know that you are up in heaven with God. I hope you feel better. You are with Papa now and you get to see him every day. I miss you and I know that you are next to me now. You are so lovely. I miss you. You did not say no a lot but I hope God takes care of you and give you your medicine. Love you and you will be in heaven forever. I hope you kiss me every night too and Bailey and everyone you see in your family!!!!!!
Hello Beautiful, you made it! How does it feel? Send me a sign……all the words in the dictionary couldn’t express how much I love and miss you so I’m not going to try. I’m grateful for the times we spent together and proud to call myself your nephew. My wife loves you and Lil Moe adores you. We truly miss you. Thank you for everything Nanny! Since 1996 you filled the emptiness inside of me that made me whole, but now……………..see you later! Love you forever. Until we meet again. Love, Moe #SavannahStrong Nanny,
Love, Rylee
I want you to know that you left an imprint on my life. I’m grateful to have witnessed the love and joy you put in people life. I know I haven’t always made the best decisions but you’ve always made me feel loved no matter what. I want to thank you for never judging me and accepting me for who I am. I write this with sincerity. I love, miss and adore you.
Grandma,
Your nephew, Lil Alvin.
I want to tell you that you are the best because you would always buy us candy and fruit. You would always give us everything. You were everything and I love you Grandma Sarvannah.
Keep it Groovin
Love, Zorian
