My baby sister, my heart and my guardian. She thinks she's the boss of me. I swear she's been on this earth before her time, because she knows everything. There is not a day that goes by that I do not speak with her. She is my confidant, my ride-or-die, my accountant, my keeper and my BEST FRIEND. This lady is amazing and I couldn't think of life without her.

My oldest sister, she possesses a beautiful and caring spirit. She is a GOD fearing woman and is blessed beyond measure. She is truly irreplaceable. Sometimes when you are present for everyone else you forget to be present for yourself. She is there for everyone and will give her last to make sure you're ok. This young lady is my SHERO. I love her unconditionally.

This lady here is my sister from another mother. She has been a constant in my life. If you've ever heard the phrase "I don't play the radio" then you know Katrina (look it up "play the radio" Urban Dictionary). She keeps it 100, 99.9% of the time, and has a heart of PURE GOLD, and this is why my life is so RICH!

This young lady is one of the many blessings I asked GOD for and the one blessing that is perfectly perfect. From day one you brought joy into my life and I couldn't imagine it without you. I will kill a rock dead about you. GOD has given you favor and as long as you know that you are blessed anything in this world is possible. I am proud of the beautiful young lady you have become and I am anxious to meet the successful woman you are destined to be.

God blessed me beyond belief when I met her father. She is one of the many blessings that came along with him and I am thankful. She is a beautiful young woman and I am excited to see her excel and thrive in this thing called life. I thank her for graciously becoming a part of my world.

It seems as if I have been knowing this young lady a lifetime. She is an awesome, independent, and strong woman and mother. If I had my younger years to live all over again I would want her to be a part of that life too. She is my twin in spirit and I love her to the moon and back.

I have known this young lady since kindergarten. She is and always has been a DIVA. She has a heart of gold, and because she was an only child, she is spoiled rotten. She will give you her last to make sure you are ok. She is very sensitive one minute and a hell cat the next. I love all the wonderful memories we have shared over the years (what goes on in Vegas, stays in Vegas), and I love that at any given moment I will get a text that makes my day. I love this crazy sis of mine, and I wouldn't trade her for the world.

This young lady epitomizes the phrase "an angel here on earth". She encompasses a spirit of warmth, love and caring. There is an aura around her and if you look closely you might be able to see her halo. She is a blessing to all that are fortunate to meet her acquaintance. I love her dearly.

This young lady may be my niece but she's so much like me I think she is a clone. I braided her hair for the first time when she was a year old, and she took to the trade like a pro. She is the sweetest girl with the smartest mouth, fashionista, trend setter, and go getter that I know. I love her like she was my very own (and she is).

This young lady here is a woman of a thousand words. She is feisty and has been a fighter since day one. I thought for the longest that we didn't have much in common, but as she grows into a woman she is more like me than I thought. She has the elegance and grace to articulate words that touches a person's soul. I play around with spoken word but she has mastered the art. Aside from that her nursing career is in it's infancy and is bound for greatness. I love her feistiness and the fight in her spirit.

This young lady is a daughter to me by another mother. She embraced me with her love from day one. I have been "Moms" since she welcomed me into her heart and into the life of her daughter. She has a very sensitive but fiery spirit and she brings joy to the heart of my son. I love her for the spunk in her spirit.

This young lady is truly a friend from the cradle. Our mothers were besties, pregnant with us, and we have been besties since the crib. No matter where life takes us, and no matter how much time passes since we last speak, we truly pick up the conversation where we left off. If you feel down and need a laugh, call Talette. If you are looking for sympathy, call Talette (cause sympathy you will not get, but you will get the raw honest truth). Life wouldn't be the same without her loving, crazy, and sho nuff personality. I love everything about my friend. (I know my friend), and I still love her.

This sweet young lady is everyone's sweet little Tuba. She's sensitive but sassy. She has the gentlest spirit and would give you the shirt off her back. Besides that, she's a Diva just like her Auntie. I love her to pieces.

This is my cute little chocolate bunny (because she sneaks chocolate from my candy dish). She is so full of spirit and energy. She is always smiling and a blessing to be around. It's no doubt she is my little "GEM".

This young lady is my first grandblessing. She is an amazing child. She is full of potential and talent. God has put his arms around her and the sky is the limit. She is kind and the greatest big sister ever. She shares a birthday with her little sister but embraces their special day with GRACE. She has a protective spirit that has been ordained for GREATNESS. She is the APPLE of her Gi Gi's eyes and I love her dearly.

This young lady is a spitfire. She has an alluring and gentle personality. She never meets a stranger. She stole my heart from day one and I am proud to call her my granddaughter. She will always be my little JLoLo (because she can dance just like JLo).

This young man has stolen my heart in so many ways. He is my first grandson, my first real sidekick and my little friend. He is the born protector of his sisters and he holds that position seriously. I love the kind spirit of this young man and he's gonna make somebody's daughter an excellent husband (that is after his playboy days).

A Beautiful Spirit. This young lady is the calm to everyone's storm. She is the shiest, sweetest and almost the nicest person I know (but don't get her twisted). She has been a true sister since day one and I love her for just being her.

This young lady is my new family. She held the place of protector of my man's heart. It was nice to know that she felt comfortable enough to pass those reigns over to me. DIVA does not adequately describe this classy, sultry, funny and down to earth young lady. Her friendship is one of the blessings I received when I met this wonderful man of mine.

This young lady is my second daughter. She has been a part of my life for so long she has started looking like us. She is an amazing woman to my son and an awesome mother to my grandbabies. She has also been a wonderful big sister to Asia and a wonderful support system to me. I love her for loving us.

This young lady is the first real friend I met in Georgia. I say that because she is saucy, jazzy, sweet and mean at the same time, classy and country as I am. She has been a part of my life for so long that I don't remember a time she was not there. She definitely cannot be replaced. This girl delivered my twins, well Asia, and I love her like a sister.

My brother from another mother. We are family from day one. The original black man is what we call him. He is all about family. My grind is your grind.

My son, my heart & soul and my twin. I am very proud of the man you are becoming. Stay focused on your goals and vision.

My youngest son the sky is the limit for you. You control your future. Develop a plan and make it happen.

We got a lot of stories from growing up together, but we will have to take them to the grave. Paulette saved your life. Thank you for your support over the years.

Alex is cool, calm and always about his money. You are well on your way. Follow your vision.

My little brother thank you for your love. It feels good to have a sibling again.

Mr. Cool, calm and very observant. The best brother-in-law a man could ever ask for.

My man Doug Pope from day one. I've felt I have known you my whole life. Thanks for your friendship and support.

Mr. Miami Vice 37 years ago our paths crossed and have been down by law ever since.

Cousin by law but more of a brother. Thank you for the support and keeping me informed of things at home over the years. Thank you for visiting my grandfather whenever you were in town.

Coop coworker, church mate, brother and always respectful of ours. My man with a heart and soul of gold.

My little brother I remember when you and Keith ran SW ATL hard. I remember the day you went to the hospital when Keith passed and supported my mother until I arrived. I'm proud of you. You're a strong man and a family man.

E, 35 years old we met at the bank and the rest is history. You have been a great friend and support over the years.

Derek, 35 years of friendship. Thank you for the support and 35 more to go.
