Tchrina,
Though I didn't know your Mother personally, I know she was a beautiful person because I know the wonderful character of her daughter (you). God has another beautiful rose for his garden. May He comfort you and your family, uplift you, and surround you with his might love.

God Bless,
Chrystal

I don't remember not being welcome where you were -as 1 of yours.. As long as I live and until I get There ... know that I'm a better person having the Blessings You poured into My formative & adult Life. Having You & Momma was a treat, and knowing how much you loved one another and had such good memories together is/was a Blessing. Please tell Momma and Dionne I said "Hello, and I Love, Miss Them too!" You've left us with a wealth of love, knowledge and so memory Awesome Memories to laugh about, grow and shed some Tears.. I'll always remember your warm & beautiful Smile when I'd walk in your Room or the Dining Room. Even though it was not as often as I should have, You always gave me a Warm and Loving Hug, gave me a "Only Mrs. Harmon" could introduction and .. then we'd talk for hours. You would never let me leave without telling you how I was really doing and always brought up My Baby Girl, how I was doing and encouraged Me to "feel what I feel!", always made me feel better, always remembered. Until We see each Other again ... Enjoy Heaven and Tell Our Father I send All My Love and Thanks for All of His Grace, Mercy Blessings. Always your. Marva Jean Leonard-Dent (Harmon ... Smile)

Dear Mama,
In all the grief and extreme distress that we are experiencing since you left this world for a better world to be with yours and our Beautiful, Lord, and Savior, Jesus Christ, we realized that in all the confusion of trying to tell your story of the four generations from your lineage, we regrettably did not include just how wonderful a daughter, mother, sister, aunt, cousin, friend, and employee, you truly were. We can barely, release the words to describe you through the tears. Our beautiful, beautiful Queen. Beautiful inside and out.
God blessed us with a woman who taught us about the Love of God and to Love God at the beginning of our lives, in the same way her mother taught her. Mama lived Christianity, she didn’t just talk it. Mama introduced us to so many wonderful and beautiful things beyond what seemed practical in our little world. She taught us to dream. She taught us about making things beautiful from what might look impossible to many. She taught us to appreciate the arts. There was not a genre of film, music, dance, or visual art that a mother could expose to a young mind that she did not bring to her children. Mama taught us how to be the ultimate hosts. Most important, Mama taught us about love and loving all of God’s children. Our hearts are broken, Mama. God could not have given you any other children who love you as much as we love you. In spite of our pain, we do know that God’s will has manifested upon you, to give your weary body the rest and peace you deserve.
Mama, Mama, Mama . . . you are loved now and through eternity.
Lovingly,
Vicki, Darcy, & Gene
