    " I heard someone call out your name, when I turned around to see who it was, I found myself alone; Then I knew it was my heart, missing you. Thank you Momma Angie for all the wonderful childhood memories that I will cherish through all the days of my life in my heart. Rest now in Jesus precious name! "
