Hey Ma.

It’s been a long 11 years without you. I wish you were here. I’m living by your creed of God bless a child who has his own. Your grands and great grands are holding their own and getting big. I know you’re well and send Lethia, RayJr, and Dad my love. I love you Mom.

Happy Creation Day Mom. It’s been 6 tough years, and yes; Your son is still loss without you. I have lost a great deal from wife to recently RayJr...Only God knows what I would give to hear you tell me that everything is going to be okay. Because I was always guaranteed when you said it. But I know you’re looking down on me saying...”Amtrak that shit. You’re a survivor.” ”God bless a child, who has it own”. It’s such quotes and the lessons you gave that pushes me forward. I love you. Thank you for my life. Forever missing you.

It's been 3 years and I still never came to terms with myself that you faught all you could. No one could ever understand the feelings I have inside all I want is to sleep next to you. I want this anger and hurt and feelings abandoned to go away. its so much inside of me that only you would ever understand. As I light my candle in memories of you today I want you to know your love was beyond a love that I would ever feel again it's a candle that's forever lit in my heart. I hang on to our very last phone convo before you got sick. Just know I'm trying. I'm sorry I'm crying right now I just really need your strength I feel like I'm at the end of my road. I love you grams and you will be forever missed.

You said you were tired the doctors told us the end was near, We tried to embrace the reality. 80 years and you truly did it your way, yet we still feel so empty. I love your son with all my heart but there is nothing I can do to fill the void of your physical absence. You've done so much and if I can selfishly ask for 1 more thing its you be our angel and help us get through losing you.

Mrs. Brown, It was my pleasure to have known you . You was a strong, independent and outspoken person. You was a mother to some and a grandmother to all. To me, you was both and especially my friend. I reget not being there , but when I think back at the good times we shared with family and friends it puts a smile on my face, even laughter. I will miss you!

You always said " keep your head up bee" and while looking up at the sky perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pour through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy. To everyone close your eyes and think! "when someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure".
