"Aunt Bit"
Its hard to say how much it meant to have an Aunt like you. You were like a mother to us, and we were your children, too. You helped us to build those values that will last a lifetime through. To be black is to be beautiful, you would always say, "For black is beautiful. " A beautiful black woman were you. You made our lives very special and we thank Godfor blessing us with an Aunt like you. We will miss your strength and tenderness, your thoughtfulness and understanding, your warmth and your love. Your memory will live in our hearts forever and so will your love.
We Love You! Your Nieces, Nephews and God-Daughter
