Some bonds can never be broken. Johnnie Mae will always be that happy smiling full of energy spirit I loved. One of my enduring memories will always be her walking through our back door in Brownsville. She is smiling, hugely pregnant with Gina and singing. Her very presence gave us all happiness.

To a lady that holds a special place in our hearts. We only knew you for a short time, but it took no time at all to know that we loved you. You could make me laugh like no other, with a smile and a laugh that could make everyone around you smile too. You always gave me the best Mama hugs that i have missed for so long. I love you Ms Johnnie Mae and we will miss your sweet heart.

I love you Miss Johnnie Mae and will miss talking to you. You are the best second Momma a girl could ever have. I know Kevin and I kept you busy when we were growing up but you kept us straight and could hear your whistle from a far. To this day I have never heard a whistle like yours. Rest in peace and watch over us and go find that Dad of mine. Until we meet again I love you!

Faith by Patrick Overton
When we walk to the edge of all the light we have
and take that step into the darkness of the unknown,
We must believe that one of two things will happen,
There will be something solid for us to stand on
or
God will teach us how to fly.

Your Loving Mother Is Flying With The Angels.
