    Jimmy and Chris your momma was so proud of both of you and how you took on all everyday struggles and controversies. You were her world and it showed every time she saw you both. Kareem she cherished you so much and was always so excited and happy to see you, rather in person or on face time! She will always be with you in your hearts and memories! She was a fantastic women, sister, grandmother and friend to all! God bless you all and her soul. Much love and strength to the family.
