while laying back feeling that lovely Miami breeze. 
Big Mama was also a member of the Mt. Carmel Missionary Baptist Church in Miami, Florida, 
where she was a faithful servant of the Lord. She was a beautiful woman inside and out. And all 
who knew her will always be comforted by her smile, sense of humor, powerful and encouraging 
words. 
Big Mama loved us all very much and I know she would love to see each and every one of us again 
but as she always said Only If the Lord Say So so in his name we pray. Amen
