To know our mom, momma “G”, nanny, sister, auntie, and friend is to know the loss that is felt. To a woman who lived life to the fullest, loved with no judgement and was always there for anyone. An inspiring artisan, a jack of all trades and all around doer, you are truly an amazing soul and are worth a thousand words over. We leave you with this quote to encompass the love that you left. Till the next game, gathering or whenever you stop in to say hi, we love you.

I Love You

I love You even when I can no longer see you smile in my direction.

I Love You more for who you were as my life moves forward without you.

I Love You for the Me you created.

I Love You for what you left behind within all of us.

I Love You for the mark you left on every person who knew you.

I Love You for teaching me that our souls will meet again.

I Love You more.
