It’s too soon to be saying a goodbye and I’m still being selfish and not ready to let go quite yet. This world is lighter, emptier a bigger void since you became an Angel where now your home is breathtaking, painfree, angelic and filled with music, dancing and laughter…as I hope one day to join you and feel the same. Tia you gave me so much…i feel so empty and so alone without you the sun just doesn’t seem to shine so much but I know I’ll let you rest I’ll let you go in my time and the sun will shine so much brighter again…as I feel the rays of your love thru me…i miss your laughter, I miss you 🙁 ♡ Bibi ♡
We both loved you very much and will miss you. You are at Peace now. Condolences to the family.
Titi,
You have always been the life of every party. I can still taste and smell your cooking… The thought of you brings a smile though my heart is broken… You will be missed. We love you… Fly with the Angels and dance in heaven with your negro! Forever in our hearts. …

Grandma,
I am sad that I met you so late and at such a busy time in my life. I would have loved to have gotten to know you but I am glad that I had my chance. I hear wonderful stories about you and I know that we would have gotten along very well. I will make it my goal to meet everyone in the family I should have met a long time ago, and I will do it to keep our family going strong.
