Dear Mama,

A two syllable word that barely scratches the surface of all that you were and still are to

your world. It’s hard to put in just one category, a person who defied versatility, that went

beyond her own ability soaring on God’s strength, living and meaning so much to many

people.

They say ”the greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity

and ability to affect those around him positively.”

Greatness is all that you were,

Greatness is what you taught us,

Greatness is the love you showed,

Greatness is what you made out of every life that crossed your path,

Greatness is what your name represents,

Great is the extent to which we wish you were still here, the volume of our love and

appreciation of your life, and the impact your legacy still creates.

Taking the pain and putting it on a page

We still look for your face in the crowd

Wondering If you could see us now

Are you proud of us? Do you hear when we whisper prayers to God?

telling Him how different life would be with you in it

while trying not to question him because you taught us that even in the darkness, God is the

light

We’re writing scripts

Inked with all the grace and gratitude that your lifetime represented

We are honoured to be a part of your lineage

Your daughters

Your sons

Your brothers

Your sisters

Your people

We love you.

We miss you, much more than words can say

Mama, we remember you, ten years on and forever. Your legacy lives on!
