Grandmother the love that we shared can never be matched. You were one of my biggest supporters and always looked after me. I could always depend on you. You were the true definition of what a grandmother should be. I never experienced a bad moment with you as you spoiled me beyond life itself. We shared so many good times that it is hard for me to be sad. I will continue to lift up your name and make you proud. I look forward to seeing you once again and picking up where we left off. Sleep well until our father calls your name.
Love your grandson (youngest son Tony)
Grandma (Madear) although I may have gotten on your nerves at times. It was never a day I didn’t appreciate you. You and nanny were my rock and the man I am today. I thank you for being in my life for raising me and your good cooking. I know one day I’ll see you again til then make sure you give nanny and Deidre a kiss for me. Your grandson Tory.
Thank you Madear for all the times and memories we had. You were a true inspiration to my life and will never be forgotten. There was so much joy with you being part of my life. I know Lauren and Kyle miss you a lot as well and you showed them the true definition of grandma.
Thank you for showing your children and always putting the Good Lord First. God is always good.

Hello Mom (Mother Dear) and HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!!! Words can’t express how much I miss you. I sometimes awaken with tears of joy because you are often in my dreams and they are such precious moments which seems so real as though I’m able to wrap my arms around and embrace you and then I wake up to reality knowing that you’ve had your time here on earth and it was time for you to leave but I remember that everyday that passes is a day closer for me to see you again. You were the cement that held me together during my most troubling times so that I wouldn’t fall apart and that’s something that I will cherish until it’s time for me to join you sweet Mother. I am truly grateful to God for the time He gave me with you until the end. You sleep well my Dear Sweet Mother and you’ve certainly lived up to your name (QUEEN).
