I loved my precious mema with a passion and was never going to be ready to say goodbye, bless her sweet soul. She was my best friend! She had a passion for Jesus Christ and shared it with me constantly, never judged me and always pointed me in the direction of my gracious saviour. I miss her like crazy and wish i had been able to hold her hand one more time before she left this world so much darker without her presence in it. I pray constantly i can be a fraction of the woman she was and taught me to be. I loved her with my whole being and miss her dearly.I Love you Mema, i finally made it home to my parents, I'll see you in the morning.
