Tributes
"Mama I had always known that it would be extremely hard for me to deal with when it was your time. You left us in August 2022 and I'm still in so much pain. You were my go to person for 62yrs.? My Rock?? I miss your beautiful smile. I miss your beautiful sense of humor but most of all I miss your constant unconditional love for me. You were the one that was always there for me especially when I was scared which was often. You taught me to be strong as a woman and how to be independent. You helped me to raise both of my children. You were the most amazing mother and grandmother. God I miss you mommy??"
"Mommy, I want to call you in heaven. I miss and love you so much and it's so painful. You have been gone 8 months already and it's been such a struggle without you. Kiss on your beautiful face ? "
"Mommy I miss you so much, theres not a day that goes by that i dont think of you. ? I cherish our time together. If I had one wish it would be to have you back xoxo"
"Lil. I miss you so much. You were the 1st person I met here. We were instantly friends, and stayed friends for 28 or 29 years. So many memories. I learned so much from you. My gravy ( not sauce, I know) has improved a lot. You were always there for me, no matter what. Always with the best advice. Even being an honorary grandmother for Aaliyah, when she didn't have one. That's how she remembers you, her grandmother. I'm so glad to have known you. You were the sunshine in my life. Truly a blessing to me and my kids. Actually, I'm sure you were a blessing to everyone that knew you. Sleep well my friend. "
"I never knew Lillian but I did know her daughter Renee! I know Lillian instilled the best part of being a friend to all of her children! She had to have been a special person to have raised the seven children that she did! I only wish I had the opportunity to meet Lillian but I believe I sort of did having such an amazing friend in her daughter Renee! I?m sorry for your loss!"

"Mom I know you can hear me. You left us to soon but I have seen signs that your spirit is here. Your name Lillian on a wall. One of your favorite songs playing. Butterflies remind me of you so I bought a silver butterfly necklace to wear around my neck to honor you. I wake up every morning since your passing and I remember that your not here anymore again. I realize that I can't hear your happy voice and your infectious laugh. I can't call you on the phone for your advice. I will never feel the comfort from your amazing hugs. I do know that I will be with you again one day when it's my turn. God how I miss you yesterday today and tomorrow. I am in so much pain momma but I find comfort in knowing that you will never feel any kind of pain again. You are standing on both your legs. You are young and beautiful in heaven. You are surrounded by your loved ones that passed over so long ago. I find comfort in knowing that your spirit is actually all around each and every one of your children and grandchildren that need comforting in this emotional and most grieving time in our lives. I love for all eternity??"
"My mom is a never ending song that plays over and over in my heart. She is my greatest inspiration on so many levels. She is the strongest woman I have ever known. Full of love and compassion who would have done anything for the love and happiness of all 7 of her children. She was my mother and my father. She taught me how to forgive those who did not deserve forgiveness. She taught me to have strong faith in God, I adore my mother for all that she has given me. My strengths come from this beautiful woman. Although my life will never be the same without her in it ? I am so thankful to have her as my mom for as long as I did. Thank you for showing me how to love whole heartedly mama. I will miss your hugs and wet kisses I will miss your adorable ittle peanut head. I will especially miss our late night phone conversations that sometimes lasted for several hours. Thank you for the laughter you were the funniest woman I have ever known. You were so special to me I will just miss everything about you. I'm not sure how to move on without you in my life. But you have also taught me to pick myself up when I fall, your inspiration will forever live within me and your spirit will keep me going. I love you mommy forever and always. I know your making quite an impression up there with your beautiful self. Keep surrounding your children with your presence even though your not here in the living it's so comforting to know your still here in spirit. Kiss on your beautiful face mama"
"My world has been rocked by moms passing. I?ll forever be grateful to her for the the love she gave me. I gave her hell as a child but always tried to make up for it as an adult. I think I did ok. She loved everyone whole heartedly.. God gave us the time with her to say goodbye and only the best get such a gift to have all 7 of her babies there to keep her calm and ready for the trip to the unknown. She will always be in our hearts and minds as the greatest momma ever! "
