Mom no words can express what i feel right now. I wish you were still here. i know your in a better place not sick anymore and for that im grateful. You always said “we grew up together”, thought it was corny. All i can think about saying to you now is “mom we were supposed to grow up and old together” and it doesnt sound corny at all. I love you mom, fly high with the angels.
Shari you are so missed and loved by everyone who know you! May you Rest in paradise

My heart is broken but you are with Dan, mama, Greg and Lamar and of course you are with Jesus now and that’s the only thing that makes this ok. I love you with all my heart and I can’t wait to see you someday soon. RIP TWISTED SIS
