My mom has done everything for me helped me out when I needed the help. My mom was a sweet loving lady who will go out her way for anyone. I’m sure going to miss her and it’s definitely going to be really hard to recover from this. My mom was a very hard worker. She also use to work at a gas station on Harlem in Chicago. And we where kids she always took us to the movies called Harlem corners my mom was the best. And again I’m really going to miss her. I know she isn’t suffering anymore and that she is in a much better place. I love you MOM I won’t ever, ever forget you. ❤️ Rest in peace!!!
She was a nice lady. prayers for her family and friends
