I will never forget sharing an apartment in Memphis with Aunt Néen Neen, Mama, Candy and all of us kids. Neen Néen took Rick and I down to the bus stop to show us where to catch the bus for school. We were in the first grade. Rick had already rode that bus. It would be my first time. She said ''Kelly whatever you do, you do not get off anywhere except this EXACT spot!''
Well the bus stopped that afternoon but it wasn't the exact spot Neen Neen pointed out. Rick got off. I stayed on. Once all of the kids were off but me, the bus driver asked where I was supposed to get off. I said ''You didn't stop at my exact spot.'' Poor driver had to back the entire route until we got to the spot where I was supposed to get off!
Néen Néen was always so sweet and so loved. I am so thankful you are in heaven living happy, having fun and out of sickness.
I will always love you and your family.

Some of my favorite memories of you (and Willene) are our Scrapper years. We never saw one of you without the other. Y'all had such a beautiful lifetime friendship. What a blessing. I know Willene, as well as your family members, are going to miss you so much. I remember your beautiful smile and your laughter and how much fun you were. My heart is saddened at your passing, but my sweet friend, I know you are no longer in pain. And I know that someday we'll all see each other again. Rest in peace, my dear sweet Scrapper friend. ♥

I am so sorry for the loss of Valeria. She was a fantastic manager to all of us at FedEx & outside of FedEx she was a fantastic friend. So much fun at work & outside of work. She was so giving, so understanding, and a great leader. She had such a wonderful personality & sense of humor. She was non-judgemental toward anyone.
She is going to be missed by so many people. I know Jesus had His arms wide open when she got there.
