For Our Mother
You can only have one Mother
Patient, kind and true;
No other friend in all the world, will be the same to you.
When other friends forsake you, to Mother you will return,
For all her loving kindness, she asks nothing in return.
As we look upon her picture, sweet memories we recall,
Of a face so full of sunshine, and a smile for one and all.
Sweet Jesus, take this message to our dear Mother above;
Tell her how we miss her, and give her all our love.
We Love you Mom from the Six Pack
Known for Excellence. Trusted for Value.

supporting them in their dance competitions. Shawnessa
enjoyed dancing and had a passion for writing.

Shawnessa was a very loving and caring person who always
tried to find the good in everyone. You could always depend
on Shawnessa for an encouraging word to uplift you at your
lowest point. Shawnessa will be missed but never forgotten.

loving and devoted children, Maurice and Keyonna Council,
Marquian, Diamond, Destiny and Yazmiere Letcher; her
two sisters, LaShawnda Letcher of Cincinnati, Ohio, and
Camillya Letcher of Atlanta, Georgia; two brothers and
three sisters on her father’s side, six aunts, seven uncles,
