JOAN Joy of our lives Offered the best love and advice as a mother and Grandmother. Affectionate towards her family and friends, Never changed how she felt about you, no matter what! “Mom I am going to be okay knowing that you are at peace and with our Lord Jesus Christ. I am going to miss one of the funniest moments we had, with me starting a song and you finishing it; the two non-singers and most of all I will miss my traveling buddy” -Your Roxie “I love you momma with all my heart. You were my best friend. You will be surely missed Love always, -Your daughter Veronica “I am happy that you are my mom and all of my memories of a mom are of you. Until me meet again. Muwah, Muwah, Muwah, Muwah, Muwah!” I love you your son -Moses “My love, my joy, my world. You have always been my everything. I love you Momma, -Your son, Brian
There are no words that can express how much I love you and will miss you, Momma. But being the angel you are I know your wings were ready but my heart was not. I love you, Momma. Your baby girl, Mary Grandma, oh my grandma , I’m going to miss you so much! I’m going to miss gossiping with you having those good talks and playing your lotto for you. (smile) Your boys will be fine. Your one gun Pete (KJ) I’ll keep on track. Your baby hulk (TJ) will grow up to be a good mom like you said. Your big eye devil (AJ) I’ll still play y’all games with him. And your too cute for words (LJ) will grow up to know all about his grandma. I love you Grandma. Your Birthday Twin, Ty Grandma, your work was well done. Take it from me your rich little, your Grandson. I bow my head humbly to you. For being strong with all you went through. I love you, Grandma. Your Rich Little. You gave me a mother’s love, a father’s strength and a grandmother’s wisdom. You are the rock that kept us stable and the gentle breeze that would comfort us after the storm. All hail our Queen Joan Quinn. We love you so. Moses Woods III.
