I was a mother of five children on welfare but I had a job. I worked almost everyday. I had a nice home and I worked hard to keep it up. I bought new doors, new floors, and painted the rooms all by myself. My children were the best dressed kids on the block. The people didn’t like it. The children and their parents were jealous . We were picked on and even threatened with guns they broke in our home and vandalized the property. I had to call the police numerous times. They beat my car while I was in it and they caused me to lose my baby when I was three months pregnant. I had enough with the area and the people. The people liked living the way they are which was dirty and nasty. We don’t fit in.

You are so greatly missed. You were such a remarkable person. A second mom, always giving advice and making me laugh at how straight forward it was. I just wish we could talk one more time. I know you are in a glorious place now with our Father in Heaven. Rest peacefully, we will love you always.
