This photo is during thanksgiving, it was a special time of year.  Tia Rose hosted the family every year, I remember great food and great people.  Tia always worked hard to cook and prepare the feast, and it was scrumptious you could taste the love and care.  Tia was the back bone of the family and always loved and supported the family.  I own a great deal of respect and adoration for her, her memory and character I will carry until I’m called to move on.  Some say memories with loved ones are priceless, I would say the price is a broken heart but that’s how much Tia Rose ment to me.  I will always love her!

How do you say goodbye to one of the most important people in your life? Someone who helped raise you, nurtured you, taught you the meaning of family, and guided you through life with love and strength.
She was never supposed to leave. She was supposed to come back home to us. But God had other plans, and although my heart is shattered, I find comfort in knowing she is no longer suffering.
Aunt Rose was the heart of our family. Her home was the one place everyone could go without fear of judgment, no matter the mistakes we made or the burdens we carried. She welcomed everyone with love, warmth, and understanding, and taught me the true meaning of loyalty, compassion, resilience, and family.
I was honored to be by her side during her final days, holding her hand through every moment. Even then, she remained strong until the very end…and that strength is something I will carry with me forever.
I will miss our talks, our laughter, her advice, and simply knowing she was always there. Our family was blessed to have her, and I was especially blessed to call her mine.
Our bond was more than aunt and niece. It was something rare and beautiful…like Thelma & Louise. That kind of love. That kind of loyalty. That kind of unbreakable bond.
And that is what I will miss the most.
No one could ever replace my Thelma. 💔
My beautiful, precious Aunt Rose leaves behind a space in my heart that can never be filled, and a love that time will never take away. May your soul rest in paradise in God’s loving care,  🙏🏼 🌹🕊️

Our last Mother’s Day when you were healthy enough to go out I will miss you thank you for the love you gave me and my girls and treated them as your grandchildren you’re be in our hearts forever
