Love you TC, your wife, Arlene.
GLADYS D. WASHINGTON
It seems like only yesterday when we were laughing to- gether. I didn’t know then what I know now, that you would leave me forever.
My heart is broken, my eyes are filled with tears. I miss you more than words can ever say. And it’s because of Jesus who loves us both, I will see you one day face to face.
So, my dear Mother, until that day arrives for me to be where you are, I hold on to that special twinkle in the sky, for
you are my shining star.
Love you always and for-
ever, your daughter, Debbie.
