A beautiful strong woman whose taught so many things in this life. She's taught her daughters and granddaughter s how to be ladies and to always have respect for self and others. There are so many things to say but, it would take forever, like whenever we had a problem o thought something couldn't be fixed she would always say "Let me Show you" but more importantly I remember the days when she would ask me to put on the radio and it would play gospel music or Mahalia Jackson and our conversations Mama said to me never go to bed listening to that kind of music especially after you've said your Prayers. W o w and Amazing Woman, beautiful Class I Thank God for blessing us with her life.
