"OH MY GOD" how I always thought that Ms. Hawkins looked like "Tina Turner"(LOL) What a wonderful woman, a wonderful neighbor, and truly one who loved her community, especially her little street she lived on for more than 30 years. To "Undria", know that the battle is not given to the swift, nor the strong, but to the one who endureth to the end. I know that your mom is "PROUD" of you, and Martinez for the way you guys have handled everything. The bible also says that "No weapon formed against man shall prosper" and you are living testament of that!!! To "Schnita", "LOVE" your brothers, help them, support them. "FAMILY" is important, and you all need each other. Despite all things in life, "REMEMBER" your mom gave you "LIFE" and that's the best gift that she could have ever given you. My prayer is that "GOD" will soften your heart, and give you an ear to listen. I will continue praying for you. Ms. Hawkins was loved, and she will truly be missed on our little street. I'm just glad I got a chance to spend a few hours talking to her not long ago,and seeing her that Friday evening, before she left on Saturday for her "BINGO" trip. "LORD" how she loved playing her some "BINGO" y'all. She came up to the house because she saw the cable man's truck outside, and wanted to make sure that he was not in that house alone with my mom!!! Just like her, I'm telling ya' We didn't need no police to patrol our street. "WE" had her and Mr. King covering it all.(LOL) If you need us, we're only a phone call away. "WE" Love You, "Sandra & Mrs. Sanders"
