I know you have so many mementos with your lil Grandma, 🥲 I feel that God allowed you to be at the light, the stars in the galaxy of Heaven waiting for UU, Moma, my niece Joann gave to me as a sister for 28 years.🤍 We are 💔 broken here on earth in flesh, but we/I understand that we don't know God's timing and when our number will be called, Moma. 😥 Now, she's resting just like you, Moma. No more sickness, pain, hurt, sadness nor loneliness.👐🏿 No more dark hours because God took his light and shine on UU to come home.🙏🏾 Moma, I miss you since you been gone 09/29/2021 and I've missing  daddy 36 years ago. 💔 Now, I'm missing my niece 😢 😞 UU. Please, continue to allow me to hear your voice, see visions of you and your 
presence.💛 I'm just waiting for UU to come visit with me or just hear her voice too. You all, You Both, Moma,  keep RIH, she's with her Stars and Galaxy.🥲✨🙏🏿

Moma, this is Kerria's first Pajama Christmas Party. I was trying Moma for them to see me to be happy with them because I miss you so much. 😪WE MISS YOU SO VERY MUCH.💔 Moma, I know you was watching over us.🙏🏾 I was sad happy about you not being with us to have fun, but happy for Kerria's engagement 💍. Moma, I just want the kids to be loved 😞 😪 and happy that's all. Wishing you was here for laughs, jokes, gossip, just to talk or say something throwed off.😆

I wish that you are receiving all the gifts that you have ever wanted in your life time Moma. I wish you was here to receive one from me.🥺 If you was here, you would have gave me your bank card to go to the bank, to get money for my grandkids, your great grandkids you helped raised, for Christmas. Thank you Moma. 🙏🏾😪 I gone make sure that I write you and express myself to you. I LOVE YOU MOMA.💛🕯🕊

Me and Nene would have fixed you up for your birthday Moma.🥲 We would have had a party with laughter, a few drinks, eating, singing and dancing the night away. Moma, you was full life and you was took away (God knows how it really happens).🙏🏾😪💔🙏🏾 I Love You, "My Crazy Lady".❤🕊

Hey Moma, Donnie miss you so much. It was sad day 😞 because we wasn't able to spend it with you  😢 💔 on earth, but I know and Donnie felt your present spiritually wishing him ❤ 💙 a happy birthday 🎂 🥳 Moma. You would have had me to go get Donnie something or take him some change 😉 as you called it 😊 for his birthday. Moma, you are truly missed. 🙏🏾💛

I feel lost without 💔 you Moma.
I lost my hair, but look Moma, it's trying to come back. Remember the grease and oils I made, this is what I used to help my hair grow back. My skin continues to have breakouts, it's trying to clear, but when I get down, depressed, stressed 😢 about your death, it all comes back. I miss you MOMA.💔🖤🥀

Moma, Donnie is trying to hold up without you. I do what I can and I will keep trying until I can't no more. I know he misses you Moma and how I know, he always tell me so. 😪💔🙏🏾🕊

I wish 😪 if I could have one more chance 😪 with you Moma.🙏🏾

Grandma there’s not a day that go by I don’t think about you. I cry in silence most of the time. But I realize I laugh more now than I cry. I’m so happy and thankful that God picked you to be my grandmother. I just know your grinning watching me and the kids live life. Losing you made me realize there’s no more time for me to waste. I love you grandma and we miss you down here. The pain sometimes is unbearable but we’re managing and will continue to move forward. #RIH #IwillmournyoutilIjoinyou❤️

If I would have knownn I wish I knew that you wasn't gone be here anymore. 😪💔

Crystal Faye, thank you for allowing me the opportunity to meet your mother and sharing her with me 🤗 thank you Faye for the endless sacrifices you made on behalf of your mother 💯😍 from one daughter to another; the task is not all always easy but God’s strength is always made perfect in our weakness😘
Ms. Iola thank you again for every word of advice you’ve given me down through the years🥰
May the Lord bless and strengthen your love ones you have left behind is my prayer 🙏🏽 

Hi Moma,
Since September 29, 2021, it's been hard without you Moma. I have been trying though. 
Moma, I didn't want you to go, to leave me Moma not right now, but God picked your number to come home to him. I know all must go one day, but if I could've had another day with you, to fuss, to have special arguments, our jokes, laughters, food (with your picky self) most of all dancing when it's no celebration,  talking about the news (craziness) and hugging. Moma, you start looking or let's say, starring at me while I worked at my computer. You would do the dame when we danced togethe.  I would look at you from the corner of my eyes, or look back at you and wonder Moma why you be starring/looking at me. I know now beause you really loved me and I loved you and I was able to share  my life with you, even thoughn I felt to stop twlling you something (personal). On everything, I wouldn't trade it for the world, I would do it all over again being your daughter first and your mother second, but I have respect you being my mother period. I just needed a break Moma. I wanted to find you a new place just for a little while so you Donnie could get back visiting one another, but not this place yet Moma (Heaven). I wasn't ready. You taught us about Jesus and God,  Our Father. Moma, I do understand God's work. I tried Moma. Moma, it was meant for me to do the prank joke on you for my last kiss, to hear I love you, to sit by you, to hold you and got to make you do what I wanted you too do. You was down with me Moma in my whatever. You was my friend by heart Moma. You did whatever I asked or wanted to do Moma. I miss you soooooo much Moma. My heart aches for you Moma💔🙏🏾😪🕊💋

We really going miss you one that kept a smile on your face and we going g miss that beautiful  smile but rest up baby until we meet again 😭😭💔💔

I’m going to miss my Aunt Iola she was funny and outspoken. She loved all here nieces and nephews.

Momma Iola Lord, how I will miss you!😪 From day one when we met over 25 yrs ago you made me feel as if I was one of your children and I'm so grateful for the love you've given me and JaColby. Your laughter, dancing, and special words/phrases 😉 will get us through when we reminiscence of all the fun times we had because they were genuine. I'll continue to pray and support your chidren, grandchildren, and great-grands as I know their hearts will never heal from your transition! You'll forever be in my heart and I Love You So! Until we meet again...R.I.H. Momma 🕊💜🕊
