In honor of Iris

I am walking to honor the memory of my beloved sister Iris. She was the kindest and bravest person I ever knew. Lupus took a toll on her body but never her spirit. I miss her so much but I know she is pain free and is wactching over me.

Mom's Lesson

I am walking in loving memory of my mother-Bernice A. Green. Her memory lives on with loved ones she has left behind. My mother was known as Dr. Bea/Aunt Bea because she treated and cared for everyone she met like family.
