We will always admire you for your honesty and love. Every song we created and all the projects were from your vision and heart. Mammy, you will always be our best friend and your genuine goodness will be missed.
You had an endless joy for life. Everyone knew you had a luminous quality of thoughtfulness and selflessness.
You never wanted anyone to know the suffering you were going through and for them to only see the smile on your face
The impact you made in your life reflected on everyone who knew you. You helped so much people being a teacher with your creative outlook and imagination.
Thank you for shaping the character of us and so many of your students. You lived with cancer for many years but your passing was unexpected because you had overcome so many struggles and health complications.
Mammy taught us how to deal with life and never let anyone say a bad word about us and always stood up for us and to take on life by being a free spirit
Mammy, you had the Determination that we will take into our lives. Mammy had all the character of who she was up until her last breath. Mammy’s life doesn’t end here because everything she was, lives on through all of us in our memories.
Today is not just a goodbye but a celebration of a great person for making us smile, for looking after us all and brightening our life.You will be missed to infinity.
