You got your wings Baby and now you are our “Momma Angel”. It was an honor to be your daughter, your baby girl. The strength, courage, boldness and the fighter inside of you reminds me that I can do anything, because you are the true definition of a WARRIOR! You fought until you couldn’t anymore and said you were tired. Now you’re home in heaven with no worries.

Your daughter, Carla

Mom, It’s been a year since you’ve been gone, and there are still no words for how much I miss you. You were my #1 fan- believing in my music, my dancing and everything I dreamed of doing. All I ever wanted was to give you the love and happiness you gave me and deserved. I wanted to show you more than words can ever say. I hope you’re watching over me, smiling, and knowing that everything I do carries a piece of you.

Love, your son, Richard Johnney

Dear Mama, First thing moma said to me was: “You better not make my son cry”. I love how you loved your son, your infectious laugh and how you always kept it 100.

You have been our rock and our shelter. When my world shifted and broke apart, you were there to help me put it together through one of the toughest times of my life. You were an angel before those gates to heaven opened up for you.. the TRUE definition of a real one!!

God’s Garden

God looked around his garden And found an empty space;

He then looked down upon this earth And saw your tired face.

He put His arms around you And lifted you to rest;

God’s garden must be beautiful, He only takes the best.

He knew you were in pain, He knew you might never

Get well upon this earth again.

He saw the road was getting rough And the hills were hard to climb, so He closed your weary eyelids and whispered ‘Peace be thine.’

It broke our hearts to lose you, But you never went alone,

For part of us went with you

The day God called you home
