She was love. She never met a child or a stray (human or otherwise) that she did not give love. She was not a perfect mother, but she loved her children fiercely. She loved her grandchildren ferociously. She loved her friends deeply. She loved complete strangers. She was love.
She lived a long life that was not always easy, but she never stopped loving.
She found joy in the small things like rings, clothes, pine roses, and chocolate. She loved to dance and sing; she loved to craft and to give those crafts to those she loved to bring a little joy to their day.
She is survived by 4 of her children, her daughter Rhonda, her sons, Rodney and Robert, and her daughter Rochelle, as well as her many grandchildren, Shevonne, Randy, Ray, Corrina,Rosie, Mari, and Misty, many great grandchildren, and one great-great grandchild. She was proceeded in death by her two sons, Ray and Kevin.
