Of all days for memory to keep popping up in my head about you mama. Music, music was always around us when I was a kid, I remember you handing me money and telling me to go put on some music on the jukebox at the Wig Wom village motel, where you would cooked for every tracker that came down Orange Blossom Trail. That's where my love of Motown music came from. The O'Jays the Temptations, Otis Redding you were way beyond your years when it came to music. Thank you for those memories. Speaking of truckers it didn't matter what color their skin was they knew that Miss Alma would feed them you were always wonderful that way mama.
I love you mom

One memory that I will never forget about Granny and I was the time she was babysitting me and we decided to order pizza. I’m not sure what pizza chain it was but they had a special on their “White Pizza”. When the deliver man handed her over the white pizza Granny thoroughly examined it and simply asked “where the heck’s the sauce?” The delivery man said that she ordered the White pizza but Granny wasn’t having it. She refused to pay for a pizza without sauce. “What type of pizza place doesn’t put sauce on the pizza?” she ended up paying the delivery man 15 minutes later. The two of us ate that whole pizza and loved it.
Love you Granny.

Wow! What an amazing and inspirational woman. Granny embodies all the qualities and strengths that are present in every single one of our family members today. So many fond memories, so many times she helped me, she scolded me, she allowed me to get away with mischief, she was always there there to LOVE me and allow me to become the person I am today. Often I reflect on the days when granny drove me, my brother and sister to summer camp every single day to Delanie Park. Every morning we'd load up in Granny's mint green Cadillac (long body) and she'd take us to camp every morning until 5pm and then she'd pick us up and take us home. She never said much during the ride but her presence and consistent love she showered us with every single day during each summer are memories that I'll carry forward with me for the rest of my life. No matter if mom or dad was happy, sad, upset, frustrated, irritated or just done with all the nonsense we had going on...when we saw granny she instantly showered us with love, compassion, empathy and understanding. Granny, there is no one that will compare to you. I will always love you, remember you, laugh with you, cherish you and be forever grateful for all the beautiful qualities you've instilled in me to this day. I love you and may your soul rest in heaven with the angels above. Blessings and positive vibes..vibes..vibes.. vibes...

Memory of my mom and me,
When I was in 8th grade I got detention for not dressing out for gym class because I did not like changing clothes in front of others. So, the phys ed teacher gave me detention that day making me miss the school bus. After detention the school closed down and I had no way of calling my mom that I was still at school. Hours went by while I sat on the school bus bench waiting for someone to pick me up. It was getting dark so I decided to walk home, I got home and my mom was furious as to why I was just walking in the door. I explained to her what happened and she was more furious than before.
The next day she picked up my brothers baseball bat and took me to school not saying a word why she had the bat. At school, we got out of the car with the baseball bat in one hand and me in the other, she walked up to the front of the school and asked me to point out the principal. I pointed him out in the midst of other kids and a light went off in my head ‘MY MOM IS GOING TO KILL THE PRINCIPAL BECAUSE I DID NOT DRESS OUT FOR GYM CLASS”.. Instead of obliterating the principal she stuck that bat in front of his face and said “I will kick your butt (cannot type what she really said) if you ever give my daughter detention again, do you understand.” The principal and I were in shock, my mom walked me over to the bench sat me down and walked away. I looked up at the principal and he had the biggest grin on his face, but he never said a word to me, guessing he did not want his butt kicked.
That day I was embarrassed but so proud of my mom at the same time. I never got detention again!
Thanks Chaplain Dan Wolf for speaking about our mother, I wish you had known her when she was not debilitated with Alzheimer’s because she was to many an incredible woman, she will be painfully missed.

Hi Granny,
You were more of a mother to me than a grandmother and I'll never forget the memories we had together throughout the years we lived together. You did more than was expected and I'll never forget the clothes you made for me, you were an exceptional sewer. I remember when you and I were baptized at the First Baptist Church and you comforted me after the baptism because I was so emotional.
Thank you granny for being my other mother.
Love Miya always,

I am Alma's first born daughter. From time to time my mom whould do special things for me. When i was 9 we had a Christmas Program at Church and was suppose to wear red. We didn't have alot of money back then. I told mom I need something red to wear, her reply I'll make that happen. She went to the fabric store and purchased some red material. My mom made by hand the most beautiful red skirt I ever seen. It took her five days sewing with great detail with her fingers, thread and a thimble. That's the kind of mother she was. Never giving up even if she had to do it herself. Needless to say i had the most beautiful skirt at the program because my mom made it. I was so proud.
I love u mom and miss you much.
Your loving daughter.

When I was 7 years old I went with granny to a K-Mart to return a clothing item. The lady at the counter had an issue with the return and proceeded to give granny a little bit of attitude. Even at such a young age I knew this customer service lady was making a fatal mistake and I held my breath waiting for the moment I knew was coming. Granny let loose a verbal tirade that would have reduced a man twice this woman’s size. The item was finally returned and granny got her money back. Moments like these were common when I was little. I was accustomed to watching my grandmother and in fact all my aunts handle things in a similar manner when confronted with attitudes, disrespect or unfair situations. I was shy as a child and didn’t think I would ever end up acting like the strong minded women in my life. The women that surrounded me were tough, quick witted, sharp tongued and tenacious and granny was at the helm. She was the queen B, the mother of all the mothers, the fighter, the crusader. She was fierce yet she did it all for her family. Most of all, she taught me and the rest of us women to fight the good fight and to never back down. As I grew up I realized that granny was in me all along. I never fear confrontation and in fact I frequently enjoy a good fight. My inheritance from granny is the fact that I am kind, open-minded, nurturing and loyal, yet I don’t take no crap from no one. My granny taught me how to be a B.A.B and for that I am eternally grateful.
Love,
Arehzo

A rose once grew where all could see, sheltered beside a garden wall, and as the days passed swiftly by, it spread it branches straight and tall. One day, a beam of light shone through a crevice that had opened wide. The rose bent gently toward its warmth then passed beyond to the other side. Now, you who deeply feel its loss, be comforted--the rose blooms there--its beauty even greater now, nurtured by God's own care.
Dear Mom, the rose in this poem is you, and the branches that spread straight and tall are your children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Although God's beam of light called you home, know that you will be deeply missed by all, and rest assured your garden continues to grow far and wide.
Love you,
Sarah

I knew if I was going to be accepted into this gigantic family that I had to get past Alma! However, it was easy, because I loved her stories.... and she could tell some, she always knew she could tell them to me anytime.
I had some fun times with Alma, she always knew what I was thinking and I always knew what she was thinking, just by looking at each other. We had some secret laughs together... I will miss those the most.

My dearest "mama" that's what I called her my whole life. You where amazing! You loved all children, no matter of race, color, or creed.
You taught me how to be strong but also have feelings and understanding for others.
You taught me how to never give up. A quality you showed to the last day you where with us. You taught me how to keep going, even when life hits you in the gut, you come up with a way to keep going. I use your teachings every day of my life.
Your work ethic was something that I thank god I inherited from you. I watched you work 2 and 3 jobs at a time and not complain one time, so your family could survive. This allowed me to play football for many years and not complain about the hard work that it took.
I could go on and on but everybody who knows you already knows all I am saying!
You will always be my "mama"
I will always have you in my heart!
As I always told you every time I left from a visit
I Love You!!!!

Granny - I met you when I was 14 years old. Unaware and in shock I had such a large family I never knew about. Things were not good with my dad and his family. I am sorry that I did not get more time with you, but I was a child in the middle. The instant we met you made me feel loved. You made me feel like I was special. I remember you being in shock when we met, you said I looked just like you. Of course, I didn’t see it at the time.
Over the years, I had the privilege to get to know you a little. One of my visits to see you, you almost burned the house down and Uncle Charles saved us from the smoke and flames. I’ll never forget you pulling up to the house and we are all in our pajamas with the fire department there and you said “OH LORD, DID I LEAVE THE STOVE ON AGAIN?”
Lord Granny, you were a pistol. A fierce, dominant woman and said what you had on your mind at all times. You were such a hard worker and did provide for your family. You lived with honesty and respect. I cried when I heard you passed away. I cried all morning. You were no longer in pain. You were reunited with so many people that we all love and miss.
You did accept all people. It didn’t matter what color you were. Our family is so diverse and I think it’s because you showed your kids and grand kids that love has no boundaries. If only our entire world was like this. You left so many great qualities and traits with all your family. We thank you for that.
We will always remember your fabulous meals but most of all I will never forget your laugh and giggles. You were a remarkable lady, friend and caregiver to so many. I hope you can finally rest in peace. You will never be forgotten.

Someone famous once said "A mother's greatest masterpiece is her child." If that’s true, you are equivalent to Rembrandt, because you gave birth to 10 wonderful children. The best gift you ever gave me was life, and my 9 precious brothers and sisters. Thank you for all the sacrifices you made, so that we could live. Thank you for working 3 jobs so we could have food and clothing. Thank you for fighting for our rights when you felt we were wronged. Thank you for teaching us that any job is honorable and worth 100% of our efforts. Thank you for showing us that love comes in all colors and nationalities—if only we open our eyes and hearts. Everything that I am today is because of you. I love you mom. Say hello to my beloved husband Toby, and my beautiful nephew Montrel. I will see you again when God calls me home.
I love you forever,
Your daughter Sarah

So many great memories from bringing the families together, treating everyone the way she wanted to be treated, being there for family to help nurse them back when feeling down, a plate of food when my tummy growled.
Most of all, setting an example how to be a loving and carrying parent. Everything that's good in me was learned by watching you and the kids you raised to be adults.
Thank you for everything Granny. You're one of my heroes.
Love,

Hi Mommy,
Thank you for all you gave me in life. You taught me to treat all people as I would want to be treated. You were way ahead of your time. I'll never forget you taking us to the Russell Home on Saturdays to help Mrs Russell clean and start meals. I always left knowing that I was blessed. Thank you for loving my husband as if he were your son. I'll miss you Mommy. I'll see you again some day until then your always in my heart. I know your looking down on me and will keep me close to you.

Mom, you had a hard life, but you always had that smile on your face. Those beautiful blue eyes had two meanings to me. One was how you looked at me when I did something you liked, loving and caring. The other was when you were shutting daggers at me when I did something wrong. Like Cynthia said, you didn't have to hit us, that look said it all. I loved how your face would light up when your grandkids, and great grandkids were around you. I can still hear you telling my children that you love them. I also remember walking in to your back yard and finding you teaching my kids how to throw a knife. You know it's true, you can take the girl out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the girl. Thank you for loving Shahab the way you did. Here's a funny story about mom and Shahab. The first time he ever saw mom was when he wanted to ask her if he could take me out on a date. He shows up with flowers in hand for her, and says Ms Binkley can I take Pam out on a date,( his English was so bad ), she looked at him and said " why do you want her, I have four other daughters ". Then she took his flowers and put them in the trash can. Shahab didn't back down, I knew he was the one. I love you momma. Keep an eye on us all, and it's OK to send us a massage or two if we start getting out of line down here.

Mom, you were the greatest how you made me always feel like I was #1 kid instead of #8 kid. You made us all feel like #1 no matter what number we were. I will miss your cooking, your protection, your giggle, your soft skin, your beautiful blue eyes and that you never raised your hand at us because we just knew better.
I'll miss our Sunday breakfasts, the birthday cakes and parties, Thanksgivings, Christmas's, but mostly your birthdays to see your smile from all the gifts from your children. I'll miss saying "I love you more" with you responding "no you don't" when saying goodbye for the evening. You imbedded in all of us on how to be good to people by helping those in need by giving your time to others. I'll miss you mom, look over us and protect us.
Love you more,
