To my grandmother Emma, my friend. You are aways with me and you will never be forgotten. The chats that we love to have....keeps me with a smile on my face. The times that I would come home to visit just me and the kids, I will tell my mother, I don't want to sleep with no one but, my grandmother. We will talk until we fall to sleep. A grandmother love is like nothing else in this world. Miss you, until we meet again Mrs Emma May.

Love,

Stenye

My Grandfather was always a person that wanted you to know just who was your people. He can see family and will always tell me, those are your kinfolks over there and never forget them. I have done just that daddy, I know who my family are and I don't look off from no one. You place strong value in family, now that is what I am doing with my own kids and grandkids. You told me that we are one...one May!
