Mom in so sorry your gone. But know your in a better place free from pain. I'm trying to be strong. I'll make u proud very soon. I will take care of dad and the boys I promise. I'm gonna be the women that u wanted me to be. And I'mma b there for dad cause I know how much he loves you and must b hurting. And I remember our talk about what u needed me too do for him at certain times. You been gone a few months now I'm writing you instead of a condolence idk why I had all intentions on telling dad and the b9ys h9w sorry I am. But just started to write you instead. Mom how i miss our talks and stupid jokes contest. You sure love them corny jokes. I remember this one. Why did the cowboy wear boots? Because he didn't wanna hurt his foot when he kicked the bucket. Yoy are probably in heaven cracking up right now. You love that stupid joke. And I love you. 4 months has passed and I'm doing better. Been calling dad a few times a day. We were always close but are so much closer now. He tells me he loves me often it's nice. Sometimes I get so happy to get to b able to talk to him that I talk his ear off. He doesn't realize how aware I'm that I will lose him next and just wanna say so much while I can. He is all I got left as far as a parent. I chose to turn to aunt Carol as my new mother figure all my aunts r hear for me. I just need one that can be that roll always and picked her as a lil girl and I knew it. I went straight to her the day after his took u home. She been by my side every step of the way. Love and miss you your daughter.

Message from J Brown

Dear family. Please accept my condolences. Please know that Jehovah God understands your pain and promises to provide you with the comfort you so sorely need at this time, "God is near to the brokenhearted and those crushed in spirit"(Psalms 34:18-19). How comforting it is to know that God will provide permanent consolation when "he will wipe out every tear from our eyes and death will be no more" (Revelation 21:3-4) jw.org

You were always so very sweet to me. You had a wonderful laugh that could light up a room. I remember you goofing around with my mama (Carol) a lot and getting her thru some pretty rough times. Thank you so much for that. I love you aunt Diann. I will miss you as I know many other feel the same way and this world is very different without your beautiful soul in it. I pray you sleep well until our King Yeshua (Jesus) wakes you up to go home to be with Him. Glorified and sanctified be God’s great name throughout the world
which He has created according to His will.
May He establish His kingdom in your lifetime and during your days,
and within the life of the entire House of Israel, speedily and soon;
and say, Amen.
May His great name be blessed forever and to all eternity.
Blessed and praised, glorified and exalted, extolled and honored,
adored and lauded be the name of the Holy One, blessed be He,
beyond all the blessings and hymns, praises and consolations that
are ever spoken in the world; and say, Amen.

May there be abundant peace from heaven, and life, for us
and for all Israel; and say, Amen.
He who creates peace in His celestial heights,
may He create peace for us and for all Israel;
and say, Amen.

Sh'ma Yisra'eil Adonai Eloheinu Adonai echad.
Hear, Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is One.

Barukh sheim k'vod malkhuto l'olam va'ed.
Blessed be the Name of His glorious kingdom for ever and ever.
