It was there that she became a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.

Sweetie, during this most recent experience, I have always told you that you have truly opened my eyes even more to how of an amazing wife and mother you are. Even though it was extremely rocky and filled with a lot of low points, we always took it head-on with one or the other leading or pushing through it while looking toward the future. Your loyalty toward me and your family has (and will continued to) touched my heart. Looking back at our journey, so much has changed; married, kids (two amazing Boys Tre & Tyler) and many challenges, but with you by my side, it has truly felt extremely pasv. Sweetie, vour smile made everything better,

I love my mom so much because she knew what was best for me and she always loved me and Trek She showed us so many things when she was still living, and she knew that we were going to be good if she wasn't there. 1know that she would want us to live a good life and to take care of ourselves. My mommy was happy before she left to go to the hospital. And 1 know that me, T re\ and my dad were trying to help her. All that I loved in my life and all mv attention was my mom. All 1 know is that 1 really loved my mom and had fun with my mom.

My precious daughter of 42 years left me on Tuesday leaving an emptiness that I cannot explain. W e have laughed and cried together many times while traveling on this long journey for almost three years. While driving along Wrightsboro Road Wednesday night, I found myself looking at the passenger side talking to you and suddenly realized you were not there. You have been such a blessing to many, many people, especially me. I'm thanking God for his traveling grace on the roads to and from doctors' visits, therapy, etc. Driving on those ATL interstates is not the easiest thing to do (you drove a few times but we didn't tell anyone [LOL] and the troopers never stopped us). He kept us covered in his blood. Unselfishly, now I return you back to our creator and I gladly say "Thank you Father." W ith tears in my eyes I am trying to bring closure to this great chapter in my life.
TO MY DAUGHTER, I'll see you someday in the future not so near. `Til then, My Sweet Baby Girl, I'll love you from here. Loving you Always! - DADDY
My sweet baby sister, there are no words that can express how much I love and miss you. Beautiful, smart, funny, kind hearted, always giving and just a wonderful spirit is how I will always remember you. It's hard to wrap my mind around my sister and friend no longer being here, but I find comfort and peace in knowing that you are no longer suffering and free of pain. I want you to be confident in knowing that we will all be fine, with you as our own personal angel there is no way that we couldn't be. I love you my little sister.
- WITH ALL MY LOVE, DARVIN (GOOK)
TO MY SISTER, For years I wanted a little sister and begged my parents to have a little girl and I promised to help raise her. At age 12, my dreams and wishes came true. My sister was born and "I" had the pleasure of naming her "Tasha". Growing up she was always with me and my friends. Everyone knew her and some even thought she was my baby. As years evolved we became best friends and always had each-others back. A few years ago Drew, Tasha and I along with a couple of other friends started a business in Marietta, Ga and I spent the week days with Tasha/ Drew and came home on the weekends. During that time we stayed up late at night and on into the early morning hours discussing business. This went on for weeks until Tasha and I decided to rush and get in bed and pretend to be asleep before Drew would come home because we knew if he caught us awake we would have to talk to him until 2 or 3 in the morning. These years were so special, and at that time I didn't even know it. God allowed us this special time together and I now realize why. We share so many wonderful memories together including traveling, family functions and shopping. Shopping w as always an event within itself and especially our Black Friday shopping adventures. Shopping will never be the same without you but, I will try my best to continue the legacy. Tasha, I love you so much and will cherish our memories. - W ITH LOVE, TONYA

DEDICATED TO OUR AUNT Life is too short, It's not enough,
but we must understand, That if we live it in love and faith,
a road will be made, For the day we pass away,
W e can take it, and wait at the end, for those who once and always loved me,
I will meet.

weren't there for me, if you weren't able to be there physically you always made your presence known. I love you and would never be able to explain how much you mean to me. You are that person who I could always count on to be 100% real and honest with me, whether it was to my liking or not. You are the only person that could call me out when I was wrong without sugar coating a thing. You've always pushed me to accept my flaws and to be the best person I could be. I will always love and appreciate you for that. Your parents raised a very strong woman and I know that one day if I become half the person that you are I will be just fine! I love you Ainee! -AJA

Your beautiful eyes, so big and round, showed love, showed laughter, showed happiness, showed sadness,
but we will remember you as the happy, beautiful woman you were,
The one who once cried for love, The one who once laughed, we love you our dear, we will miss you, but please wait, we will meet once again, In the kingdom of heaven, where no pain we will feel LOVE,
YOUR NIECES AND NEPHEWS

TO OUR GOD-SISTER, One sunny day, in the Spring of 1974, Tonya was walking down the street with this cute little toddler on her shoulders. Tonya came over to practice cheerleading. We were taken aback when this pretty little girl started chanting along with Tonya and the other cheerleaders. It was at that moment that we fell in love with Tasha, who we also affectionately called "Moochie Mae". She was the sunshine of our lives. She brought us so much joy and laughter. We watched Tasha bloom into a beautiful young lady inside and out. To have a sister sent from God is indeed a blessing. "We will forever cling to those precious moments that we shared with you. You will always hold a special place in each one of our hearts."
W E LOVE YOU! YOUR GOD-SISTERS AND BROTHERS,
PAMELA, MELINDA, JOHNNIE MAE (BABYSISTER), KENNETH, JOHNNY

MY SWEET ANGEL, How do I cope with losing such an amazing person? You are more than just my auntie but a sister, a mother figure, a confidant and best friend. There has never been a time when you

ALL OF MY LOVE
GEORGIA SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY

The whispering winds, a song they sing A song of sorrow and of a heart so big Your love reaches as far as the eye can see I believe in dreams because in my heart, you beat Just as a gentle breeze shimmers every leaf Your love, in every heart, plants a seed Elegance, love and hope is what grows beneath And this is your gift to us.... For safe keeping. So...if you ever wonder why heaven sings It's because now you fly...
