A Special Kind of Love Grandma

There’s a special kind of love that grandchildren
have for their grandparents.

It’s filled with respect for their wisdom and
accomplishments…

with gratitude for the values they’ve given us…
with delight in the stories of our family that they
remember and share.

It’s a special kind of love that’s built on a lifetime
of caring and giving.

It’s the kind of love that’s felt for you, Grandma…
today and always.

RIH, Love your great-grandson, Michael

Dearest Mama Jessie

Our love for you was boundless because yours was the same for us. You never made us feel less than because we weren’t exactly yours. You fed us, made us laugh hysterically and took care of us well whenever we were with you. Wherever you called home, was home for us all. You showed up whenever we called, and you were always so stylish! You could rock a hat, beret, baseball cap and any other headpiece. Oh, how we will miss that great smile of yours. You gave it often and willingly. However, you didn’t hesitate to fuss when necessary and we were better for it. Thank you for all the love, wonderful memories of family, picnics, greens and more. Enjoy your well deserved rest. Rest in Peace. 

Love always, the Boykin’s, Brigmon’s, Moore’s Shuck’s and Williams families

My Grandmother, Mama Jessie
She wasn't like the other grans,
Spoiling kids with food and sweets,
The minute you stepped out of line,
That slipper's off her feet!
She never was a pushover,
The final word was hers,
She had her own opinions,
She made her feelings known,
And when it came to grandad,
She could always pick a bone!
But she was someone I'd depend on,
Whenever things turned bad,
And someone I could talk to if I was feeling sad!
She was someone who'd stand up for me,
No matter what I'd done,
Someone who always loved me,
Like a mom,
I'm going to miss my grandma,
More and more each day.
She had so much grace,
No one can ever take her place.

Love you forever, your granddaughter, Tinesa Beyers

Mama Jessie

Though her smile is gone forever
and her hand I cannot touch
I still have so many memories
Of the one I loved so much.
Her memory is now my keepsake
Which with I’ll never part.
God has her in her keeping
I have her in my heart
Sadly missed, but never forgotten.

Love,

Great grandson Armani Monroe Aston Martin

Mama Jessie,

Love always your great granddaughters Keara and Monay Martin

What A Woman

A daughter, a mother, and a sister of three, and this is the beginning of her great legacy.

She bore four, but under her wings took care of many, many more.
Nieces, Nephews, Grandchildren, and Great, and all of their friends, for none she would forsake.

To her house they would go, if they needed to eat, sleep, or reap, for her door was always open to every peep.

She cared for them all, with all of her heart, for she strongly believed in this thing called family right from the start.

So now that she's gone, what do we do? For she was the glue that connected this entire family, you know, YOU!

Forever in our hearts

Love you,
Granddaughter Torasia

Mama Jessie

More than a grandmother, always been that plus a queen to me
Reverence and respect as I break down all of what you mean to me
Singly you brought joy to so many souls keeping the sun rising in their skies
Stepped in, stepped up admirably with never a question as to the whys
Eyes to the prize kept the movement going wherever it had to go
Always with that constant reminder, “One monkey don’t stop no show”
Not even a train could hope to derail your ability to be there to invoke smiles
All the while leaving tracks of memories that go on for miles and miles
Smiles my heart at the reminiscence of being blessed by your essence
Touched hearts and souls, as you eagerly fed those in your presence
Blessings rain down as your essence reigns now over the lives you’ve graced
You blazed pathways to get past days never giving in to gray skies you faced
Never two-faced, always kept your words as real as the light of the sun
So, in spite that you’re gone, I gotta thank God that he provided the one
And just like the sun I look up to you for the light to guide me through
But somehow, He knew I needed an Angel, so I thank God He provided me you.

Love, your Grandson Dub

Tributes for Mama Jessie

On May 13, 2020, my heart was broken. I lost my Mom, my best friend, my world. All I can say is, Thank You Mother for giving me life and your love. You are the best, and I’ll try to be half the woman you were. I Love You With Everything God gave me.

Your #1 Daughter, Carolyn Martin
