Quana was the Grandmother of My two daughters. I knew her very well we used to spend alot of time together and we became very close. I remember we used to go up to Omaha every weekend to spend it with her. I remember On Thanksgiving quite a few years ago she cooked a big ol meal. I had never tasted better stuffing in my life. Still every thanksgiving I always think about how good her stuffing was. Man I wish she was still here to give me her recipe. And so My Cotten girls could get to know their Grandma. I will always speak greatly of her and keep her memory alive! Always talk about her to my cotten girls. For life she will never be forgotten and always loved much!!! R.I.P Grandma we LOVE and Miss you<3

To My Family,
I want you to know that even though I'm not there with you physically, I send my LOVE, HUGS, TEARS, MEMORIES SHARED are ever present there with You all! I'm praying for Quana's clan, and our entire FAM, for peace and comfort in the coming days, months to come!
It was good to see Quana after so many yrs, not a good occasion (when Uncle Cookie passed). We emailed each other, and she was working on raising money for her church Bldg Fund.
We all have our memories of Quana, mine is, I was a kid, just before she left Des Moines she gave me and sharry her "beach" (that's what they call it now) bike. I thought it was ugly, LOL, but Sherry loved it! That meant I never got to ride it...HA!Ha!Ha! I also remember when Quana, Faye, Damita Joe, came to Mom's and they used to rock themselves to sleep on the sofa, so I tried, didnt work of me, but they were sleep. One time one of us did something really bad and nobody confessed to the crime so Mom lined us all up and we all got beat, I went last cause I knew Mom would be tired by the time she got to me...LOL! Til this day NO ONE HAS Come forward...LOL
Quana is now rock'n N restin in the best of care!
Love, Peace and Blessings
