Oh goodness, Im sorry I havent been on here until this evening and nobody told me you guys had written. But honestly, there is no excuse besides me being a baby about reading her obituary. But Im so glad they leave a mention of comments, thats very nice,different, but very considerate.
Thank you so much for your words of comfort and your kind words speaking of Mama, she was truly a person that totally lacked turmoil of any kind in her heart. In my entire life, and i spent most of irt with her, I never heard her say an unkind word to or against another living soul, and she would stop you before you did. She was an enigma to me. How she could end up with the most cynical bunch ever born was a constant head-scratcher for a lot of yrs. I waa in awe of her thru this terrible illness. Even thru this punishing disease she did not complain. I did. Not her. Broke my heart a thousand times. I hated it. She endured it. I wanted her to fight it, to get as mad as I was at it and fight it , curse it, not let it take her. She was accepting of the things she couldnt change and I shut up finally and accepted too. Her service on the 29th, I am totally ashamed of my thoughtlessness, and I am absolutely at a loss as to how I apologize for my neglegence. To be honest, and thats the best way, it happened so fast it left me in shock, I think. My sister said I left her room and shut my door and wouldnt come back out. I know i wanted to be alone, totally. Dont know how i did everything that needed it but i guess i did. What I didnt do and cant believe I not only didnt think of thanking yall, the only people i saw besides mama, yall, the people I didnt even realuze how much i depended on seeing you but depended for it all. To tell me how to do things and on & on. Its hard to think of that time as a short time because tho short in time it was very long in the doing and waiting then doing it again. Some days time stood still so i feel like i was closer to some of you than i was to my family that started coming in and not leaving. I wouldnt accept what they had already gotten use to. But I want to apologize for not even calling, not even extending the courtesy of making sure all of you were welcome to the house and to the service. I cant believe i just sat unconcious for 3 days. She thought the world of Elizabeth and Quisha, but especially Elizabeth with her gentle way of doing things, she always smiled when I told her she was coming, and the last few days she knew because she always made the effort to open her eyes a little. She has a calm gentle voice that mom was drawn to. So was I.She calmed me just by being unhurried and calm herself. I sure appreciated that. But i was much more familiar with a few more than she was. Catherine and Meagan, Chaplin Mike and Tim and sweet Regina, what a genuinely beautiful human being, and she’s the rare person that u instantly feel youve kniwn all ur life. Theres not a person in this miracle place i really leaned on in the most memorable and life altering time ill.ever go thru or at least i hope and pray i dont go thru another like it or i wont make it. The kindness and respect every one that.came into contact with my mother genuinely showed her Im forever in your debt because theres no place on earth nor any other people that came together to be here for her not only.physically it was the real concern, the human touch that supported my spirit and made me want to be stronger for her and i really believe had there been a little more time I wouldnt have lost it at the end when i needed my wits more than at any other time. I was starting to come around to the truth of the matter and the caring people that you are was actually making some headway with that. Listen, it’s just real simple like mama said it was . Im grateful and appreciative to everyone that touched our lives because it was a lasting bond that i csnt imagine ever forgetting. Thank you so much, theres not words in the English language to express my admiration snd yes, my awe of what yall do day in and day out. Like my mother said, You were chosen by God, you may not have had an interview but He already knew every heart here, He chose you for your strength, your courage and your caring heart for others in pain and in need. I can believe you were blessed by knowing my mom but she and I were also blessed in do many ways for knoeing you and for working together with you. I am changec forever snd theres some if it that definitly has your fingerprints on it. God Bless you always,I’ll never forget this time and the people tjat walked thru our lives when we were so alone. Thank you for caring about us, you were our light when we needed it most.

I remember Miss Mavis from Tryon, N.C. Kaye and Marsha were friends of my sister and I. Miss Mavis was a hard working lady, who took care of her family. Sending prayers for her family.
