POEM TO OUR MOTHER
Ma you’ve been a mother from the start even when things got hard you never gave up always looking and praying for a win.
You put all your love into your children and granddaughters letting us all know that we were your world.
Ma we cried when you passed away, we still cry today.
Although we loved you dearly we couldn’t make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, and hard-working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us that he only takes the best.
Love Tracy, Jena, and Kenton II.

Kenton and Family,
It is with deep condolences that I share my family’s love to your family in remembrance of Your mom. She was not only a pleasure to be around but often the life of the party. I enjoyed each time I seen her at her granddaughters events or even family gatherings; our conversations were sparked by her beauty and sweet laughter. You served the queen well and she loved her family dearly. Our prayers will continually cover your family in the days to come.
