Ya Ya and Blanton in Texas enjoying the evening 🌇

I remember my sister-in-law, Irma, as having a deep love and loyality for family and friends, and the kindness and friendship she showed me. I especially loved her visits to California. May her family be comforted by all the memories and special moments they shared.

May she rest in peace.

Last summer I had the opportunity to meet and spend time with Auntie Irma. Upon meeting her I was instantly reminded of my grandfather John by being in her presence. I was overcome by warmth and happiness; I knew she was my family! I'm very grateful to have gotten the opportunity to have spent time with a woman with such a sweet auntie with a beautiful reputation. 

We love you Auntie Irma

I'm so lucky to have had such a strong woman to call my aunt. It was wonderful to be able to see her in Texas and have her meet my two girls. She was a true matriarch and the glue who kept us close as a family. She was greatly loved and will be greatly missed. 


Aunt Irma was a remarkable person.  She Aunt Irma was a remarkable person. She was very caring,  passionate about life and was always willing to share her life experiences.  Growing up so far away from my father's family, we didn't learn about St. Vincentian culture or get to see family often.  One of my fondest memories of her is when I visited her in 1986, when she taught me how to make proper curried beef.  I will always appreciate that she take time to teach me. She will be greatly missed, but my memories of her will be cherished forever.

Celebrating my one of a kind great aunt on her 92nd birthday. 

Wish I would've been there to share this moment. 

So glad, I had the pleasure of hanging out with Aunt Irma and the fam in Texas!
Love, Lisa❤️

My Dear Aunt Irma, when you first came to California to visit. I was so in awe of you! You were everything a strong, smart and loving woman should be. I love hearing stories of your travels and your job. I loved how you would whisper words of encouragement that made me feel like I was special and that I could do anything!
I will always love you!
Your niece, Lisa Smith 

Here in this picture, with my father Lio's sister auntie Irma, my sister Shari, and myself. Often reminds me of a childhood memory, when Auntie took us cousins on a outing. She was so tickled that I was the only one to order a hamburger while the other five chose high menu. 😂 I love my auntie and miss her so. Your nephew  Ricky Smith ❤️

To my auntie Irma, from her great nephew Marcel (AKA) Mars. Even though I'm a grown man, this is one of my favorite memories I have of her. I loved her good spirit and her energy. I will miss her dearly. Love her great nephew Marcel. 💗



Our Dear Great Auntie Irma will be missed. We, Marcel and Tinisha Smith, loved and appreciated the close bond you and your brother, our Grandpa Lio had. We have  witnessed a blessing  and example of what faithfulness in family looks like.  We  recall, on your most recent visit to Georgia, your  enjoyment of family time with five generations present.  There was so much love, laughter and amazing energy.  May God’s Love embrace you  eternally as you have embraced our family.  
Lovingly, 
Your great niece Tinisha and great nephew Marcel

My mother was my everything, I Thank God for using her as the vessel to bring me into this world. She was a true inspiration to me and all she encountered. Her upbringing and her accomplishments  were truly noteworthy on every level. God gave her 93 years to spread love and joy where ever she went, and that is exactly what she did.  My mother was a Queen and will reign in paradise  with her creator. May God rest her soul. She will be forever in my heart and mind. Your loving Son. 

Yaya I will very much miss coloring and drawing with you. You singing to me , lalalalala and us having our play time. Rest in peace love you 



Words cannot express how I feel. She was the most kind , big hearted woman I ever met. I met her when I was 18 years old and we automatically clicked. Whenever I was sick yaya made me a cup of tea and put cloths over my head. Fed me , cared for me , loved me worried about me helped me. I will never forget our best times at the stop && shop. Rest in peace my beautiful yaya.

Dear Yaya,

You never turned your back on me and I love you unconditionally. I know you would give me the world if you could and I would do the same for you. I love you more than anyone on earth, you showed me what life is about and I’m forever grateful to you.

Love your grandson Rashad

Yaya is special to me because she is the perfect grandmother. 

I have so many memories of the time spent with her, the stories she would tell and especially the food she would cook. She knew I LOVED her rice and peas. She will live on forever through her descendants and the stories we will continue to tell about her life

- her loving grandson Justin

Yaya saw me, treated and introduced me as her son. I was part of her large family as soon as we met.

Yaya ( the name given to you by your grandson Rashad)  you are awesome, a woman of God, faith, and endurance. You are our families, matriarch, who shared love and support to all. A true believer in giving flowers while amongst the living, a behavior I am proud to continue . I love your every being,  you will never leave me. I will carry you as you carried me . Forever your daughter, June. 💕
