What a beautiful angel we gained when we lost you. 34 years of being able to learn from you, spend time with you and share so many special moments has really been a blessing. I love you more than you will ever know Nana (ps, thanks for being my model and role model throughout life)
Holding her last baby grandchild. He was only five days old but we will be certain to share her stories when he gets older about he wonderful great grandmother.
Those that live their life for God will never die, but they will have ever lasting life. So Mama Gibbs sleep on until the Lord calls your name. For the dead in Christ shall rise up first. And we will all be together once again in our glorified body, free from all pain and illness.
On Tuesday, June 9, 2026 my Mother received her Wings and although I’m sad beyond words I am grateful that God called her home so she can no longer suffer🕊️The night before she passed as I was feeding her, she raised her arm towards the heavens at which time, I said, Mama what are doing, she looked over at me with those Big beautiful eyes and kinda smiled. Afterwards I kissed and said I Love You Mama and told her to sleep well. My Mama knew this would be the last we would lay eyes on one another. She took her final breath during the early hours on June 9th, 2026. I miss you already Mama, until we meet again🕊️🕊️🕊️. I’ll Always Love My Mama🕊️❤️💜
Missing you Mama🕊️💜
Precious Memories with My Favorite Girl!
I loved Sister Grubbs because when I first met her, she greeted me with a warm kiss and treated me as if I was her favorite grandchild. As a new member of True Faith, she made me feel welcomed by her love and her warm smile. She is now part of our cloud of spiritual witnesses, watching us over the balconies of Heaven. Rest well, Beloved, rest well.
Always and forever in my heart, my beloved mother in love! Until we meet again!
My beloved Mother in Luv
I miss you but you are no longer “lost” & in pain. I love you so much nana, continue to watch over us! 🧡🙏🏾
