love. You loved hard and you fought hard. The journey you travelled could not have been handled by weaklings! You left a part of you with all of us. No one else made the impact you made . 590 Ocean Ave was our “Ellis Island” stew peas with oxtail. No one did it better! I wanted to be there but God had other plans. Love you even when you were mad and always will! God Guide is the ones left back and keep us all.

Now that your work is over aunt Ter , heaven gate is open wide for you. Rest In Peace.
