    My mother, only beautiful,wonderful words can describe her. I Love my mother so so so much. I cant even believe she is gone. But i think God needed a special angel and sent her home. I shall never forget my mom and i know, I’ll see her again. My heart aches for her but knows she is in the arms of God. We are all so blessed to have had her in our lives.

    My beautiful Aunt Ann, a beautiful caring person from the inside out. Through the years she was such an inspiration to me. I love dressing up, went to cosmetology college became a stylist, love writing poems and I absolutely love to paint! Her Daughters then (Debbie, Donna, Darlene) the 3 D’s is the reason I named my boys (Brandon, Bradley, Brentley James Amick) the 3 B’s. She definitely made more of an impact on my life than she ever knew. I will miss you so much now my Daddy will have you in Heaven to reminisce old times. Love you so much….You will be missed by many!
