Missing you my friend  Darlene ,may you Rest with the Angels &Jesus our heavenly Father .Please tell you Son, Derrick we miss him dearly, and untill we see each other in Heaven  one day  R.I.P. ❤️Bonnie 

She always had a caring heart.  Knew how to make you smile. we had i good times and we had our bad times.  we had a son who was a gift from GOD to her ans she loved him very much. along with Derrick and little Derrick. She loved her family very much. GOD blessed her.

I remember whenever me or Xavier were being bad we would get sent to Grammar house for the weekend and she would have us do yard work or chores or write a letter for punishment, we remember we were upset and scared packing our bags and didn't want to go , but when we were good and went to her house we got to watch the goofy movie , and I loved that movie .She will always be missed . Love Nate.                          I remember when I was bad Mom&Dad told me I was going to Grammar house I cryed .  When Nate and I were good we set down with Gramma and she told us she had a movie for us to watch its was the goofy movie and we both loved it .in the movie there was a test she would put on and we would answer it with the right answer& then we would go home and make 🍪cookies. Other time when we went over Grammar she would have us a treat of our own soda &pizza then Boisy her dog would jump all over us and play love Xavier

The things I am most grateful for is she gave me good advice on the things that were bothering me,and that always made me smile when I was sad or upset and talked to me about things I could do to help my Mom&Dad. I remember when Gramma came to my graduation and was sitting in the car with me, and you telling me everything is going to be ok not to worry.You were always right about things before they happen, especially me having baby Jordan, and I'm grateful for all the memories that I have with you Love Sarah
