    Lamont and family, you have my deepest condolences. Miss Beverly was a dear friend that I truly loved. I will miss her stories and witty remarks. She knew how to make me laugh when I was feeling down. I am devastated that I won't see her on this Earth anymore, but I know I'll see her on the other side.

    Lamont, there are some people who become a cherished part of our childhood memories, and your mom will always be one of those people for me. I have known her for as long as I can remember, and I will always cherish the kindness she showed me throughout the years. The photos and laughs we've shared recently (texts) have brought back so many wonderful memories and reminded me of the impact she had on those who knew and loved her. She will be remembered with great fondness and will always hold a special place in my heart. My heartfelt condolences to you and your entire family. Wishing you comfort, peace, and strength in the days ahead. Love, Selena
