Hi Mama
I have reserved a spot for you here on this page...This is our time that we can be together. It has been a month now with your passing and it is still so fresh in my memory...It seem as though everyone else has gone on with their life, including you. I have gone on with my life... I have to,but I miss you so much. I will always have you in my heart. I do not want to let you go, even though you are gone. One thing about it the world continues to exist and everything is still the same...Chaos and everything under the sun and you know love still exist as well....Especially the love that I have for you.....LoL now that made me smile....

You were always a kind to me and you recieved me as if I were family and I will always appreciate that. You always asked about my well-being and invited me to family dinners and that meant so much to me. What I remember about you is that you always kept your door open to others and you made a very lasting impression on Dana. If it were not for her, I never would have met you. I thank God for that. I know that you are in a better place, in the presence of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and I pray that you will watch over your family and comfort them in accepting your departure from this life. Such a beautiful person...I regret that I could not attend the funeral. May the Lord bless and keep your family.

Mama,
Boy... I cannot believe that you are gone. Mama it seems like a dream, but I am not dreaming. I miss you so much. I will never see you here again on earth. I am grateful for everything that you have taught me in my life. You are my everything. I think of our good days. The times that we laughed together. Your sense of humor....I know that you are laughing in heaven....Laugh for me mama... and I cannot wait till we shall see each other again. I lived my life to please you..Now I am here, left behind realizing that the center of my universe is gone. Mama you did not like saying goodbye...I understand now why, As you would say......See you later...I'll see you later Mama, just make sure you save me a spot right next to you in heaven....Love you always...Your baby Dana

Leslie, Dana, and Anthony,

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. May God's LOVE and the many wonderful memories of your Mother comfort you in the days to come.

I will always remember Mrs. Callaway and the many volunteer hours she gave working with Lincoln School's Parent Group to help the children there.

I came to know Evelyn by way of my sister Ruby, who past this life in 1995. In 2001 Evelyn babysitted my grandson (Tyrese.) She was so kind and patient to children. This was her gift.

Dear Dana, Leslie, and Anthony,
I'm extremly sorry for your lost. I had the honor and pleasure of having Ms. Calloway as my baby sitter more than 20 years ago. Ms. Calloway to me was like a mother to me in every since of the word. She was so kind and compassionate in everything she did. She always made me feel safe and never treated anyone differently. You may not remember me , but I'm Miosha's brother. My heart and prayers are with you through this difficult time.

Sincerely with Love,

Leonard
