GRANT YOUR SON STRENGTH IN THIS HOUR FATHER GOD.... A FAITHFUL DAUGHTER OF LOVE, UNSELFISH SERVICE AND KINDNESS WHO NEVER HAD AN OUNCE OF NEGATIVITY IN HER ENTIRE BEING....100% LOVE AND POSITIVE ENERGY TO GIVE AWAY WITHOUT EVER ASKING FOR ANYTHING IN RETURN. JUST GAVE AND GAVE UNTIL SHE GAVE HER ALL! AS A FAITHFUL CHILD OF GOD, SHE WAS BLESSED TO BE A SUCCESSFUL RETIREE FROM AMTRAK, CHICAGO & PEORIA COMMUNITY & POLITICAL ACTIVIST ALL HER LIFE AND A PROUD SERVANT & FRIEND OF HUMANITY. IT SHOULD BE WELL KNOWN AND CELEBRATED THAT SHE FOUGHT THE GOOD FIGHT WITH THE BEST OF THEM...FROM STANDING SIDE BY SIDE WITH THE HONORABLE FRED HAMPTON SR. AND QUEEN MOTHER ANGELA DAVIS IN THE 60s THROUGH THE CIVIL & HUMAN RIGHTS MOVEMENT TODAY. SHE REMAINED ACTIVE IN CIVIL DUTIES AND SERVICE TO HER LOCAL COMMUNITIES UNTIL OUR FATHER GOD CALLED HER HOME LAST NIGHT. BLESS HER HEART...SHE EVEN CONTINUED TO FIGHT FOR VOTERS REGISTRATION, EDUCATION AND MOBILIZATION AND PUSHED HER SELF TO KEEP ON WITH THE KEEP ON EVEN DURING THE DAYS WHEN SHE WAS TOO SICK TO GET OUT OF BED...BUT MUSTERED THE STRENGTH TO DO IT ANYWAY OUT OF HER LOVE FOR THE COMMUNITY. SHE WAS WELL LOVED BY THE MAYOR AND MANY ELECTED OFFICIALS. IT SHOULD ALSO BE KNOWN AND REMEMBERED THAT SHE WAS ONE OF THE FIRST STAFF MEMBERS TO SERVE FROM CAMPAIGN TO THE DEATH OF THE HONORABLE, GREAT & LATE MAYOR HAROLD WASHINGTON OF THE GREAT CITY OF CHICAGO. SHE WAS EVEN A PAST TIME ACQUAINTANCE OF THE HONORABLE OPRAH WINFREY AND APPEARED ON HER SHOW WITH MY GRANDMOTHER SEVERAL TIMES IN CHICAGO AS A SECRET SHOPPER BACK IN THE 80s WHEN OPRAH WAS STILL TRYING TO GET HARPO OFF THE GROUND.
