Hopkins, MN Monday, September 19, 2011 Ivory, Don't think of her as gone away,her journey has just begun, life holds so many facets, this earth is only one, just think of her as resting from the sorrows and the tears, in a place of warmth and comfort,where there are no days and years, think of how she must be wishing that we could know, today how nothing but our sadness can really pass away, and think of her as living in the hearts of those she touched,for nothing loved is ever lost and she were loved so much, our prayers are with you and the family, your Step-Sons Eddie,Marcus, and DerrickJulia Westley

Hopkins, MN Monday, September 19, 2011 Mother, A Daughter Promise. Every time that I smile, every time I sigh, I think of your face, and a tear escapes my eye, you were my world, my inspiration and my heart, I thought I would fall apart, you were my best friend, my one true "Confidente", and that's not all you were, you were also my mom. And if there's anyone I want to make happy, that anyone is you, I would have given anything to have you back, but I know that is was meant to be, for you are still. watching from up there, and I know you're watching me, ill make you proud mom, I'm going to fulfill your wish, you're going to see me and smile, that's a daughter promise.
