With great grief and sadness on Monday morning, May 11th mom took her final flight out of Washington, DC as she journeys back to her home state of North Carolina.
Many thanks to my Shaw University classmate and dear friend Jaime Lamont Bell for walking mom down the aisle during our wedding weekend November 2024. She loved you dearly Jaime just like a son. Thank you for your many acts of kindness and generosity that you have shown my mom, we will never forget it.
Saturday May 16th will be tough for me, it’s extremely hard to see her go, the memories of laughter, disagreements, cooking together, sampling candy and so many more will be cherished for a lifetime.
My southern mom, thank you. I’ll miss you tremendously. Love you today and always.
Remembering when I had to fly my dearest Tim Long from Los Angeles LAX in 2014 to North Carolina, I just can't believe this is happening again.
