Thursday June 1st 1967

I made my entry into the world. I am the third child born and the first daughter born. I was born in Denver, Co. I was born during the civil rights era and John F Kennedy was president. That particular year, the freedom riders were big making sure everyone knew segregated busing was unconstitutional.

Back to my story.

My mother told me that I was the most beautiful baby and to be honest, I loved to hear her say it. She would make sure I was dolled up and smelled good. My parents loved on me as did my brothers, Marquies Hamlet and Micheal Richardson. I was also blessed with three more brothers and sisters. Robert, Tasha, And Tonya.

My children were my world. What ever they could imagine or wanted I worked for it. Education was very important and not an option for them. I knew I was sometimes hard on them. By the way, even thoughI am not physically here with you- I still expect it! They have givin me the best grandchildren ever. I have Aliza that tonya has called little Marva, Elisha, Dorian and Taylor. I also have grand doggie Celeste. My children and I been inseparable forever. I was very protective of them.

In recent days

I have had some hard and weary days. My body was becoming more weak and frail. I fought hard until the very end. That’s a testimony of just how strong I was. Throughout this time, I kept the faith. I need you all to know I spoke to Jesus daily. He is my lord and savior.

                                           I LOVE YOU ALL!

                                                UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN.
