I have no words to explain my grief and my somewhat hardened heart. She was/is my best friend. she is the reason for my existence. There will NEVER be another like her. She always knew what to say and what to do in these kind of moments. I keep searching my brain trying to think of all the things she would tell me to do or think or even feel, and i got nothin! memaw i love you, i miss you, and i know this was for the best but selfishly i still want you here. tell gaga we all miss him terribly, and i am so happy you are with him, and jesus now. I love you, and please know that you were always my light in the darkness, and that you have impacted every breathe, every step, and every moment in my life. I will miss you eternally!
Sincere condolences for your loss. May God comfort you during this difficult time.
I am so sorry for the loss of Joyce. I know she is in heaven with Jesus our Lord! Praise God for that! I remember Joyce as a dedicated mom and one of the sweetest people I had the pleasure of knowing. Rest in Peace Ms. Joyce, and one day we shall meet again.
