“What He Say!”
those words grabbed my heart and the woman stopped it. We met 2004 on really bad terms and chaos but we held each other up, as a family…Thank you all from always welcoming me and my family into your homes and being when I need ya..
I just saw her and spoke with her in May I would say? she was smiling like always and happy to be at work..Invited me to come over and visit soon.. I asked her if she ever really planned to take retirement serious? I got that one eye raised and sideways look, and we laughed hugged and loved each other, until the next time ..
I’m sorry we lost you so soon you would have enjoyed meeting my grandbabies..
I love you Lady always thinking of y’all..
