I love you, mommy. Goodnight, sleep tight, don’t let the bedbugs bite, if they do, hit em with a shoe, if they don’t, they won’t.
You will be missed dearly..you were ready to take your wings but we weren’t ready for you to go be with God..Thanks for all the time you spent talking to me growing up..I miss those conversations..Love you

Aunt jeanette you are deeply loved the little things i remember about you i will always hold in my heart i love you and miss you
Dear Aunt Janette,
You were the coolest aunt any neice or nephew could ever ask for. You were always there for me when nobody else was and you taught me alot about life when I was a kid. I will never forget how you spoke highly of me so that I could get a job at Red Lobster when I was 17 years old. You even turned me on to some really cool 70’s music like Supertramp that I still enjoy listening to this very day. Furthermore, I will never forget how much fun we used to have when you would take us to the Dreamland drive in movie theater. I feel so heartbroken that you are gone and that I never got to say good-bye to you in person. Tell everybody in heaven I said hi and that I miss them all as well.
Love you always,
Weeden
