Mom,
You were the one who taught me to read and the one who gave me my very first book “I love Birds.” Learning to read revealed possibilities — things to do, places to go, things to dream about. Thank you for this gift – it is one of the most meaningful I ever received.
You will be forever in my heart.
Love,
Mar

Mom,
You liked what you liked. Loved who you loved. Allowed me to lick the spoon and the bowl in the process of baking your cakes. Taught me to cook, read, clean and persevere. I am better today for those lessons… thank you for life
Ozzie was my Aunt. My mother’s sister. I remember her as a very nurturing and loving person. It was slimply her nature.
When I was young, she always welcomed us into her home with loving arms. I knew I would be pampered for the entire time I was there-and would always leave with a “goody” bag.
I remember when she started getting ill. I called her one day and purposely referred to her as “Aunt Ozzie”. She perked up immediately, and I felt at that time she remembered our days together, long ago.
I will miss her.
Gone but not forgotten
I met Ms. Bussey at The Fountainview Center. Ms. Bussey use to say the darndest things to me. I always made my way to see her everyday. This often made my day to speak to her early in the morning. When she could no longer say the things she use to say to me she always gave me a smile. With that I knew what she wanted to say. I will never forget her smile. You will be truly missed. My heart and my prayers goes out to the family.
