It's 2:00am in the morning.  Can I sleep?  No, I can't, my mind on Lady T, until I remembered spending the night with her and we were talking late, it was about 2 o'clock in the morning.  Lady T said let's get some sleep and you rest easy because it will soon be daylight.  So, rest easy my dear Towana.  Rest easy love.
Yours Truley, Aunt Glo 


As I think about  my step-daughter Towana the Spirit leads me to
paraphrase John 16:22- Now is "our" time of grief, but "we" will see you again and "we" will rejoice, and no one will take away "our" joy.”
And God spoke these Words to us all in John 11:25 “Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.
My memory of Towana tells me of her strength, belief and much faith in God throughout her years on earth. Towana speaks to me through this poem written by Mary Elizabeth Frye
"Do Not Stand At My Grave And Weep"  

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there. I did not die.
I know Towana's earthly body may be gone but her calm and pleasant presence lives around us until we meet again. 





My childhood friend: I will never forget your kindness when my family moved to 7th street, you came over and said,  "HI",  with that big smile of yours.  From that  moment we were friends! As we matured we gave our lives to Christ!  


Psalms 116:15 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.




 “A daughter is someone you laugh with, dream with, and love with all your heart.” “A daughter is just a little girl who grows up to be your best friend.” “Happiness is mother and daughter time.” “My Sweet Towana was full of love and joy, now she will Rest in Heavenly Peace 💜

Towanna will be miss.she was like a family member to me.we grew up together we kept in touch with each other where ever we moved at, I always would tell her I’m  going to pray for her and she’ll tell me I’m going to pray for you too Dot.no more suffering and no more pain R.I.P Towanna❤️❤️❤️


 Towana was fun to be around, I remember our conversations, she definitely knew that she was blessed and highly favored. Towana, Cynthia Adams and myself go way back to middle school together. I have a lot of fun memories, rest on my friend. ❤ 

I will miss her in the flesh tremendously, we talked practically everyday 4-5 times a day sometime; I would tease her and say she was the.oldest even I was, and I would tell her I did not want that job and we.would go back and forth about that: We shared everything with each other/ I also called her my Sister/Best friend; Until we Meet Again Sis. ❤ 💋 😘 

My big sister as I called her and she would say you are and would tell her I did not want that job and we would go back and forth about; I will also miss talking to her in the flesh practically every day; I ♥ my sister so much, until we Meet Again 💋 😘 

You will be missed and cherished. God bless the family and friends that had the privilege to have known you.

Sending our thoughts and prayers to the family. 🙏❤️

When we went on a cruise and Towanda came she was such a strong person she didn't want to use a wheelchair of she wasn't going to be push around on a cruise she used her walker and sometimes wouldn't use that she did not let her sickness get the best of her when we were out ,we're going to miss a she would say some of the craziest things like when we go out together and Patty was with us she would always say go diva go diva go and Patty would do her dance even when she was in the hospital and she would laugh and at the sametime wouldn't let you know she wasn't feeling well but that's how she was we're going to miss her- her classmates class of 81
