Prayers for her family
Shuwanna I will continue to keep you and your family in prayer as you grieve your loss. My prayer is that you all will meet again some day in that new Jerusalem when Jesus return for His own and reunited with your mom where there will be no more death. Love you. Angela Maragh
Her wholesome laugh is what I remember most! It encompassed her whole body and trickled over to mine. I remember grinning so big when I heard her laugh that it made me chuckle so hard that my cheeks ached. I’m smiling right now, with aching cheeks just thinking about her. I loved you always, and I’ll never forget you. All my love and prayers to you and your awesome daughter, Shuwanna (aka Sissy).
You will forever be in our hearts and always on our minds. Mama D. you will be missed dearly.
Sorry for your loss Shuwanna.
