I love you “Kitten!” You surely will be missed. May God keep and bless you! You have Finished the Race, Fought the Good Fight, and Kept the Faith! The time you spent with us will never be forgotten. You were a good Mother, Wife, Friend and everything else. But to me you were sweet, kind, a special cousin and we shared the same Grandmother. You nurtured and raised two girls and I did the same with two boys. Track runs in the family as I and both the boys ran track. You have run the race of life and now you can rest and wait on the call of the Lord…. May God keep you in his care… Tony McMillan and family (Rosette, Tai, Nico), (Cuba Woods, Lucy Hawkins, Sam Hawkins, Frank Woods)

Job well done my FAITHFUL SERVANT says the LORD. Kitten you have earned your wings and you are free to soar high above the clouds like the EAGLES.

Your transition from this EARTH to HEAVEN’s PEARLY GATES is a welcoming sight as your mom awaits your arrival with the biggest hug and most beautiful smile to greet you.

I will never forget all of our fun track moments and meets locally and away as part of Rainier Beach Track family and the legacy you added to the team.

To the family: Just remember that when you are at your lowest point with Kitten’s transition to look the Lord strength understanding and comfort for he is with you always.

You will be forever missed
