"Big Mama'
She was everybody's shining star, Day and night "Big Mama" was always there,
Because the love she had in her heart was unbelievable.
She was more than a mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and great-great grandmother. She was our "Big Mama." When we were sick late at night, She was our doctor, When we had problems she was our counselor, When we had doubts she reminded us keep to keep the faith. When you saw her, she always had a smile on her face, and that just made our day. All the things she taught us won't be forgotten, It will make all of us stronger, Because she will live on, in all of us. "Big Mama" "Big Mama", W e will all miss you. The Family
