"Remembering Garnett\'s kindness, love, understanding and compassion, especially during the passing of my son Michael. Despite her own suffering she wanted to provide the support I needed as she understood full well the pain of losing a child. She is now with her son Kenny. God has called her Home and He did so during Holy Week. She was indeed special and I was proud she was my cousin. May the Good Lord provide those that loved her peace, love, and cherished memories. She was a great lady..Rest in peace my dear cousin. Love you."
