Hey Mama.. I miss you so much. The last year has been a real hectic one, but i bet you knew that lol. You’ve always been watching over me and there were definitely times i felt your presence this year. I want to thank you for every memory you left with my heart and every life skill you instilled into me.. you help me grow still,even tho you aren’t here. And with every big decision i make, i keep you close to me. Wondering what you’d say.. what you’d think. I hope you accept me and my decisions still. I love you with all my heart❤️ Fly high my bluebird.

Five years. Where did the time go? I sometimes hear you in the things I do. I miss you so very much but I can still feel your love and prayer protection wrapped around me every day. In the midst of my sadness I always find Joy in your name. Syris, they don’t make them you anymore and they never will. Continue resting In Paradise.

Dearest Mama,

It has now been 3 years and the immense pain of your departure has not subsided. I hope you arranged a welcome party for my dad (Donald Brown) who joined you on 13th November 2020. As each year passes the time that I will see you again, to hug you and laugh with you, becomes closer. I miss you and love you dearly ❤️

Persons come in your life for a season, some for a reason and yet others for a lifetime. Mama you have entered my life for a lifetime, and I am the person I am today because of your powerful influence on my life. I will miss you, but you will always be with me in my heart.

Mama, I need your guidance right now. I'm in a very lost place and although I know I should be strong... I can't help it. Mom probably would've sent me to Jamaica with you right now lol. I love you Mama. You were the key to my heart. Your wisdom and smile led me to greater things. Without it, I've just been lost. Yes, for a year and two months... I've been lost. I miss you. I love you... Mebi oso na hit choda op nodotaim. (from the 100 my favorite series).

Fly high, Fly by, bluebird I wave goodbye.
Seeing you leave, it’s so hard to let go.
As you flew, I told myself not to cry.
Reliving my sights of you in the past.
Watching from the clouds, you can see me grow.
Fly high, Fly by, bluebird I wave goodbye.
Still hear your chirps from the time we met last.
Song engraved in my heart, relieves sorrow.
As you flew, I told myself not to cry.
May you touch others with the spell you cast.
The dangers ahead i hope you foreshow.
Fly high, Fly by, bluebird I wave goodbye.
As you flew, I told myself not to cry.

I love you Mama! I miss you! <3

Dearest Mama,

I was extremely honoured & blessed to meet you for the 1st time in 2013 whilst on vacation from London & staying at my fathers house in Tweedside. We immediately clicked & I would visit you every year, with a bag of goodies including your favourite coffee, & regularly spend some time with you.

Your infectious smile (whilst in considerable pain) & words of wisdom will never be forgotten. The tsunami of love & affection that you projected was immense & profound.

You are the most beautiful woman with a heart of pure gold & I’m gonna miss you big time. You are now in the SUPER CLUB of ANGELS, which is reserved for the truly incredible.

I take comfort from knowing that you will never ever suffer intolerable physical pain again.

Rest in peace Mama - with much love ❤️

Miss Iris my GODMOTHER said she had made her reservation a heaven bound ticket for "ONE" will always remember her,
my condolence  to the entire family as we all mourn her departing......

Some people enter your life for a moment, others for a season and still others for a lifetime. Mama Iris entered my life at a time when I felt really abandoned and she remained for the lifetime. There was never a dull moment when you are around her. Her love and compassion were unmeasurable and her smile very captivating. A true mother who took me under her wings as her own.I have never felt as if I am not family and for that I know I owe her a lot.
November 4th 2017 was a memorable day for her. She told me as i lay beside her on the bed with my arms around her that the gathering was a wonderful farewell for her. All but one of her children were there and she mentioned Lamont not being there. She was smiling and she said she made peace with her maker and she wished all her children could find the peace she felt. Even though I kept telling her she will live to see 100,she kept saying she will not live very long in the new year.
Looking back i can say mama knew her time was at hand. I wish we all will be able to have the opportunity to be blessed with that chance but we know life is not like that. Let's take even a chapter out of the book that Mama Iris has written and as such carry on the legacy she has started those many years ago. Keep the Dixon legacy alive.Mama may be gone from this earth but she is in heaven looking on. Farewell Sister Iris. Rest in peace. Soon come

Mama mama what can I say? I will always remember sitting next to you as you were sewing and giving me the scraps so that I could sew dresses for my Barbie. Lol. You were the best. The love you gave to everyone was unmatched. The generosity you showed was never reciprocated but nonetheless you were always more than willing to give what you had to anyone. Your life and legacy will not go unrecognized. You are a woman that everywoman should strive to be. You have instilled love in your family by showing unconditional love. We know you’re happy we know you’re looking down on us and we know you’ll be praying for us every day. Until we meet again my dear Iris, I love you from now till forever more.

You loved your kids, grandkids, and your husband unconditionally.
I’ve always adored how much you love your family, and to be honest that will forever stick to me and inspire me to have that kind of love. I miss you everyday Moma, and there’s not a day that I do not think about you. I wish that I saw you one last time, and I wish I got to say a proper goodbye, but I will make sure I tell My grandkids stories about you, I wish they could’ve spend time with you. But I know you are looking down on us and that you are finally at peace. Heaven gained an angel and I will see you again soon, Moma.

As I was reminded lately angels Don't Die. Mama you are an angel you have been the most significant person in my life as a youth and growing up I live my life based on what you taught me. I give without expecting to receive. I love because I love not because I expect to be loved in return. You Are and were The Guiding Light in my life. I have honored you all my life by living in a way that would make you proud. Mama there is so much I can say but there is not enough words or enough space to put it all down. I love you I miss you and one of these days in the great beyond we will meet again. Rest in peace Mama until we see each other again.
