Big Mama held a wealth of information: historical data, secrets, prayers, recipes, antidotes, wives tales, and guidance. She also dished out punishment if you didn’t obey the house rules. Big Mama was held in the highest esteem… respected and sometimes feared. When Big Mama spoke, everyone listened. No matter what, Big Mama was the Matriarch, a true Pioneer! If Big Mama told you to get her slippers, then boy, you had better hop to it or get popped. She wouldn’t slap you… she just gave you the death stare. Even when Big Mama got tired, she sang the blues and kept moving. When Big Mama got sick, she took care of everyone else. But when Big Mama became sick and tired, she moaned quietly into her nap. Big Mama was happiest when she talked to the Lord. She would clap loudly at church because she was happy. One day, Big Mama drifted off with a smile on her face because she knew that she would proudly- rest in the hands of her Savior. Heaven became a richer place with Big Mama and all of her spunk and wisdom.

My Big Mama’s hugs and kisses are dearly missed. We Love You…
