Mama its been 4 yrs now tht u were taken away. Im still having a hard time getting through my days without you, wanting to call u up for advise about whatever or just call to say i missed u and loved you. I hope i played a memory in ur mind before u took your last breath. Im sorry u cant b here to watch me continue to grow. Youd b very pround of ur handsome young men grandsons. How the yrs fly, The bud is 13 and lil johna is 10. They are good smart boys who love one another. Thy have big loving hearts. You chose to b there greedy. Ultimately its Greed tht got u. You should be here with me and the boys ur grandsons. They are well know thiere church very smart A's and B's both them they are dedicated baptized along with leo. They are happy smart amazing young men. So wise beyond their years. Its to bad u had you let my money blind you.

Mom,
I love you and miss you and still can not believe that you are gone.
There is so many things i wish i could of told you, and im sure there is much you wished you could have said to me, things you would hold inside and think only to your self about.
I want you to know I LOVE YOU no matter what.
I hurt everyday thinking about what was going through your mind in the very last minutes of your life, i wonder if i was there in any of those thoughts.
All i have left is memories of a time that once was, i want to know the real story of what took place that night.
I cant let you go mom, you were my best friend and ill never stop missing you and crying and thinking about the hour of the day that we will see one another again.
Fairwell my beloved you are forever in my heart
