To My MOM
You were always there for me, took care of my every need. When I was ill you were there, during all my ups and downs you were there. Mama, your loving smile I will miss, the twinkle in your eyes when I gave you a kiss, you knew just what to say and when to say it. Mama my love I will surely miss you, so I'll say so
long until I'm with you again. From your loving son, De'Andra
My Dearest Friend Words could never say how much I miss you.
The tear flows, the hurt shows. But nobody knows a sister like a sister,
we shared so many things, your life was not m vane, your smile brought laughter, in a world so filled with disaster,
sleep tight my sister, knowing that God is there with you.
Your loving sister, Claudell
