She was a beautiful mother and I will never be able to get over this. Its a tragedy. My best friend is no longer on her two feet smiling and being my buddy. My mother was my biggest supporter on so much and I loved her for that. I’ll never forget the day she told me she knew I was who I was at a very young age, and that it didn’t bother her because she loved me anyways.
That women was everything to me , until we meet again, I love you

Some struggles are to much to bear. It is an invisible cloak we all wear. For some, it is something that they cannot hide.
My heart is heavy for her family and loved ones. Sending prayers for comfort, understanding and forgiveness. Blessings to you all.
