Tonight's Encore will be in honor of Minister Diane's aunts passing:

Life can be Traumatic

When family is family, you don't need outside affirmation, love or attention....

Within family lies the frame work and foundation needed for learning how to navigate this thing called life....

Without it, the opposite is true....

Today my family lost it's last Matriarch...

She was truly a virtous woman...

She loved God...

She loved her husband for better and for worse.....

She didn't birth children but took in, loved and nurtured the abandoned and needy....

She extended that love to others like me and my siblings who were also abandoned....

She served her church and others every chance she got....

I thank God for the impact she had in my life. 

I will continue her legacy.......... 

Rest in the arms of the Lord Aunt Lizzy.
