Well, CHRISTMAS is in two days…I’m my usual excited about it! It is different though, more and more of your family is no longer here and we have covid! For the past two years death has been immeasurable..we have become a nation divided and need to wear a mask if you care about someone other than yourself…it is unreal! I will say this though I am still thankful for God sending His son, without that Him we have no hope! Enjoy your Christmas in heaven mommy…I’m missing you always and loving you more!
Your first born,
Debbie
Today would be a celebration here on earth for sure for you!
But I know the celebration in Heaven is the ultimate celebration..I know you have at least a brother, son, parents and two sisters with you..but the best is the Father and Son!
I love you mommy and I miss you…still..again Happy Birthday Mommy!♥️♥️♥️♥️
DEBBIE
While I wish you were here...I’m glad you don’t have to see the condition of this country . So much going on!
Until we see each other again...You remain..my “G”

I miss you mommy...that goes without saying. NINA and I have grown close in our later years regardless to the fact that I am ten years older than her and the sibling rivalry of the old vs the young is no more.
Sherann isn’t doing well...we try to help her as much as possible but there are issues, I just keep praying for her. Tommie keeps in touch every once in a while with NINA, but other than that he keeps to his own family.
NINA is a grandma! Ra Ra had a little girl..Nori! Neeky has four kids, Jimmy has two , ALISHA, none. James and I are growing old together.
But you know all this ..you and Tony and daddy! It’s been a hard year , COVID-19 has taken many lives, economy bad, wildfires, racial tensions!
Through it all I keep praying and crying for God not to remove His hand from us!
Didn’t mean to go on so long...I LOVE YOU MOMMY, I LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND SEE YOU EVERYDAY..I HAVE BECOME YOU, LOL, HAPPY HEAVENLY BIRTHDAY MOMMY! Until we see each other again...I remain..your first born!
DEBBIE
All my love to you always and forever until we once again are united in Heaven with our Lord and God!
Lovingly,
Your first born,
Debbie
I’m watching Winnie the Pooh..remember when we used to sing his song together? I do!
Winnie the Pooh..Winnie the Pooh...tubby little cubby all stuff with fluff
I love you, Forever
Have a slice of heavenly mana birthday cake for me!
For ever and always
Your first born,
Debbie
My mom was that light, and she still shines bright, everyday in my life and in my heart. I am my mother’s garden...she planted in me the root that was all that she was and had become during her life!
It’s the 14 th once again. It’s always a little tough on this day since I was not able to be with you when you crossed over to be with the Lord! I hope and pray it was peaceful and as painless as possible.
Missing you still...as I always will...I love you forever
I have my faith in the true and living God to sustain me, the loving arms of Jesus to hold me but I was also born of the flesh of a woman and I miss you mom.
If I didn't know any better I would say I feel your presence with me sometimes, I hear your voice in my head and my heart is touched. You are even in the songs that I sing...both of us sharing one alto voice.
When I decorate my home, it's style...it's you, when I'm sewing I hear "overcast that raggedy edge", you are are even in my cooking and to this day I hate it when someone opens my window curtains and messes them up, lol! So mommy...you are with me, and one day I will be with you, I love you mommy, always have...and forever I will!
I know it's different in Heaven...but I believe it is Wonderful and there is nothing like it! Hugs and kisses!
Nothing has changed....I'm missing you still! Some days you are so close to me, I can almost feel you, other days you seem so far away...on this day of your home going I just need to say....I love you ..still.
I KNOW IT IS A GLORIOUS ONE FOR YOU IN HEAVEN WITH JESUS AND THE FATHER...I WISH THAT I COULD SHARE IN THE CELEBRATION!
GIVE TONY, AUNT SHIRLEY, GRANDMA, GRANDPOP, UNCLE BILL A HUG FOR ME...I KNOW THEY ARE AT YOUR CELEBRATION, THEN AGAIN....THERE IS PROBABLY NO BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION...EVERY DAY IN HEAVEN WITH THE LORD IS A CELEBRATION!
I LOVE YOU!
Until I see you again.....I LOVE YOU!
It has been a while I know, you have been on my mind today. I look at your pictures here in my room and think about things I remember you saying or doing. You know I still cannot get over you are gone to soon from my life. I am returning to Oahu, with James and Bre , I am going to our old house and school, I know it be emotional for me seeing that place again. I wish I could have taken you back. I love you mother while I am in no hurry to die, I can't wait to see you again well and happy. I love you, I love you......I love you!
This is Waverlee, I feel sad when I see this, I wish you here for me and grandma and my mommy...I love you..sorry I never met you.
Love, Waverlee
I can't seem to get you out of my mind today, it may because Mother's Day is approaching or maybe I just miss you so much! I have no words to describe the void I feel.
I know that you see the turmoil that is going on all around and I am sorry. I always knew when you left it would truly fall apart and I am sorry to say that it has.
But know this mom, you did not live in vain, I will never forget you!

The Bus Ride
I am reminded of a bus ride coming back from downtown Baltimore many years ago my mom and I took. As the bus passed by this little supermarket I commented "you know mommy I have seen people go in there with 5, 10 dollars and come out with 5 or 6 bags"
She looked at me in amazement and said "really"?, then she stared at me and we both burst into laughter...that's how it was sometimes with her...we just knew!
My Mom's Hair
My mom had the prettiest hair, when she allowed it to grow it was very full and thick but when she cut it, it was so curly, large natural curls and very soft and fine. You see I know this because I constantly admired my mom and watched the things she did closely, her hair, makeup and her sense of style.
Funny, I didn't know it then but I look in the mirror and see my mom staring back at me, I even wear my hair one style the way she did....imitation is the highest form of flattery!
My mom had the prettiest hair....
It hurts when I do this
When I was growing up and something would hurt me I would tell my mom, "mommy it hurts when I do this or that" and she would say ..."Then don't do that".
That was my mom!
Missing you more than you could possibly imagine!
