My Hattie Brown.... Mama, I will truly miss you! Even though I moved away from Cleveland more than 25 years ago, we spoke on the phone two to three times a day, nearly every day. That is more than 20,000 phone calls. And if for some odd reason we missed a day talking, we would get on each other's case because we had not heard from each other. When I tell people that I talk with you every day, they look at me strangely and probably say I'm a mama's boy. That's OK because I know I had the best mama! A mother who loved me for me. Through the years, watching your actions, you taught me to be kind, considerate and caring for others. It has carried me a long way in my personal and professional life. I will be forever grateful that at 93 years old, you were able to pick up the phone and call me. You brought me into this world and I am forever thankful that I was there with you when you departed this life. My heart will always be heavy not having you physically here. I will always love you... for I know love never dies. - Raymond
Mama enjoy eternity!
To be honest I don’t know where to start but I guess I'll start by saying Ma I love you so so so much. You're really the greatest thing to ever happen to me. Not being there to hold you and kiss you goodbye is the heaviest burden I'll ever carry. Losing you I will never know how to deal with and in many ways, I feel I'm the blame for all the stress I've caused. But knowing you ma you'll tell me "you're not to blame and Jehovah makes no mistakes" or you'll just make up words like you do whenever we make you mad lol. Well, although I'll never question Jehovah I just wish he'll give me the strength to bare this pain I feel. You would tell me to keep my head up and don't cry. You were the biggest gangsta I knew lol and the world strongest woman I'll ever know. And to be the "Ma" to so many generations I couldn't imagine where I'll be without you. I'm forever grateful for you. So I'll end this with rest easy my queen. I Love You Always & Forever. Ellis
Mama, I'm so proud of you. I know I got on your nerves encouraging you to eat, take your medicine and do your exercises. You fought so long and hard to get better and to shut me up. Although difficult, I find a measure of comfort in knowing that your pain and suffering is over, that you're in a deep sleep waiting for Jehovah to wake you. Very soon I'll see you again in perfect health, but for now, my heart hurts because I love and miss you so much and I know my life will never be the same or complete until I see you again. In the meantime, with Jehovah's help, I'm going to do everything I can to make that happen. Thank you, mama, for always being there for me, supportive, loving, protective and self-sacrificing. See you soon. Much Love, Cindy
In the garden of time, where memories bloom, You walked with the grace of a thousand soft stars. Though you're no longer with us, your love remains, A beacon of hope in the darkest of pains. I'm proud to have called you mine, dear Mother of mine, Your legacy lives on, a flame that will forever shine. Though tears fall like rain, and my heart is sore, I'll hold on to the memories we made, forever more. You may be gone, but your love will never fade, In my heart, your memory will forever be displayed. Perry
When grandma started calling me Lauren; I knew I was all grown up. “Peaches…...you coming with me?“, you used to say. “Yep grandma! “, I would reply. And we would be on our way; to work at the school, to the grocery store to complete great grandma’s list, to church to usher, then home for a spicy fried pork chop. Your routine was my routine for many summers. I learned a lot of lessons as your summer sidekick: if you’re on time you’re late; cause Hattie Brown was always early; take pride in your work, honor your mother, serve God don’t warm the pew, you absolutely can cook one single pork chop! My grandmother’s love was action; she loved me and I love her. My babies knew and will know their great grandmother’s life and lessons. Rest in Peace grandma, Lauren Nephew (Moore)

Ma, always showed love for others. For me, the little things she did made you feel like a million dollars. When needed, she was always and I mean always there for me. She made me feel loved every day. The love she showed and the things she did for me will never be forgotten. Love always Emerson.
I remember when we talked for the very first time. Her words she said was sweet and kind and she would always say you look very pretty. That's because she was a fashion queen. What a beautiful lady, sister and mother she will always be remembered that way. Until I see her again 💕!
