Indeed the most beautiful mother to all of her children. So many words to describe my mom. Sweet,kind,loveable, caring,a mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister,auntie,counselor,and confidant, and the list goes on and on. Amongst all of that, she was so special;her contagious smile was pure as sunshine and bright as the stars in the universe. Her cheeks were as roses with eyes that shined thought out our hearts. No matter how others treated her, she always remained the sweetest woman to all. She will never be forgotten.  She always knew what to say and when to say it. When you were say, she always found a way to put a smile on your face. When you needed prayer, advice, or just someone to talk to , you knew who to call. She took people into her arms and loved them as her own. Our mom was one of the best gifts God lent us for only a season. We were blessed with the gift of having sure a wonderful and loving mother which we shall be grateful thought out eternity.
Since gaining her wings some days ago, I have to realize that her spirit still dwells within. Shes watching over us all, so let's be careful in what she sees.
Her teaching and spiritual guidance,  we shall never forget and will continue to protect all whom she loved.
We are forever grateful to her grooming us through the love of our savior. We have become God fearing women and man for which she was the perfect example in many ways. The magic in her touch, the sunshine in her smile, and the love I  everything she did made our lives worthwhile.  We found both hope and courage listening to her words so warm and wise. Her joyous laughter, her kindness and compassion in every embrace,  there will never be another Betty Gosby!!
She was one of a kind, the light of heaven shown within her eyes to everyone that was graced by her presence.
I remember very well when she took me in at the age of 13, I was just a neighborhood kid, whom she had not met, i would come to AHOP just to listening to the choir sing and to hear her speak from the pulpit. I began to attend more than once a week gradually to almost every day,  she began to witness to me, prayed for me and convinced me to join. I became involved in the choir, praise dancing, bible studies and the women to women outreach ministers. As an orphaned teenager, I was placed in the system. My case worker asked me if I knew someone who would have me.
Betty Gosby was of the three names I had chosen. No quite sure who would take me in, she came to the shelter, called my name and was standing in the hallway with a white teddy bear. I ran into her arms and cried, because she was really the one I wanted to accept me. I couldnt imagined someone would love me half as much as her.
She instilled in me how to stand up for myself, how to do better, and to let go of the past hurt.
With all that, the young woman I am Today will never forget all shes done for me in changing my life for the better. From this day forward,  she will never be forgotten.
I love you mom, thank you for taking me and showing me there is more to life
R.I.P BETTY GOSBY A.KA. TEE-TEE.
When you think one one love you, your wrong. Someone love you more than you will ever know. That person will show you that there is more to life than what you think it is. Love peace and happiness

This is your life and you have to live it no one else. So just do your best because that's all you can do, is your best. Love your self because there is no one that will love you like you will.

When you miss me, look up to the shy, we have the common, the moon, and the sun.
True love is felonious… you take my breath away… I don’t want you just for one night, I
Want you for a life time. When you cant hear my voice, close your eyes, and you will see
Me. You know your in love when the only thing you can do is think of is that person all day.
I don’t want to cry, I want to smile. I don’t want to be mad, I want to be happy, and that
You make me.  I don’t want to fight, all I want to do is love. I don’t want to run, I want to stay
In your arms for the rest of my life. I don’t want to be afraid, I want to be in love. Love is something
That on one can take from you. Being who you are makes you better than the next. Understanding
Someone is the best part of getting to know someone new. Trusting someone with your heart can
always be the hardest thing to do, but if you have that special someone than it will come natural.
When you are in love it feel like your flying in the air, and you can see what you've been missing.
Trying to find love is like being a new born baby, your trying to see thing clear, and when you find it everything become clearer. Looking into someone eyes is like looking throw their soul. When your with someone and they break your heart, don’t think that the next one will because the next one will better.
Being in love is like your dreaming, but when you wake up, you open your eyes and you can really see them, feel them, and hold them. Never let no one hold you back from being happy and in love, you cant please everyone, the only person you need to please is your self. So please your, love your self, be your self and like always love who you are with no matter what may comes your way. Loving someone is something special, and you want that in your life. If you see something you like than go get it. If you see someone you like or you think you found your soulmate than go get them, because they want you to.
So go, run to them and be happy and be in love

I’m dreaming this is so unreal, I’m standing here dreaming, and I'm praying that I’m not. This has to be a dream come true. I’m standing here feeling my heart beating so fast, and I can feel my blood racing throw my body. I’m standing here looking throw the love of my life eyes for the first time in my life. I can feel the tears falling from my eyes, because I’m so happy. I’m dreaming this is so unreal, I’m falling throw your eyes, and melting from your sweet words. Catch me I’m falling for you, and I only want you to catch me. I’m dreaming, here we are together, and everything between us is good. The feeling is new and it feel so wonderful to me and I don’t want to ever lose it. It feels like I’ve been setting in my chair, waiting for a knock at my door, hoping, and praying it would be someone like you, and it was, it was you. I’m dreaming this is so unreal, I was speaking love awake, and speaking love in my dreams to the water, the shadows the mountains, to the flowers, the grass and the fountains, no one was listening to me until you came in my life. I was running from the pain and hurt, and I was falling, but here you are, catching me, and holding me. I’m dreaming, this is so unreal. I’m dreaming, this is so unreal, I couldn’t see throw my darkness days, until you came, I can see the sun shining again. I’m dreaming this is so unreal I didn’t have no one to give my sweet kisses to, and now I do. My heart was breaking, and now it’s being healed by you and only you. I’m dreaming this is so unreal, I said I wouldn’t take another step at love again, but here you are. Opening my door up one last time to true love, and I’m willing to take the last step with you. I’m dreaming this is so unreal, I was ready to run away, and now all I want to do is run into your arms. So thank you my love for waking me up from my dream. I am now awake, and I’m so ready for you, all of you a n 100%.
I'm dedicate this poem to the love of my life Zeola.. my husband to be. the one who I'm in love with all my heart and soul.

Take my hand and hold it tight, and never let me go.
Take my hand so I can help you throw hard times.
Take my hand so I may show you something so beautiful and so bright.
Take my hand so when you cry, I may help you throw it.
Take my hand so I may tell you a secret that no one knows.
Take my hand so I will walk with you.
Take my hand and I will rise with you like a shining star.
Take my hand and I'll believe in you when no one else would.
Take my hand so that I may  pray with you.
Take my hand so that i may understand you more.  
Take my hand so you will feel safe and never be afraid anymore.
Take my hand so you can feel love in your heart and soul.
Take my hand so you may feel the power of God loves around you.
Take my hand so I may look throw your eyes and see what others can see.
Take my hand so we may dance together with joy and peace.  
Take my hand so we can smile together at lease.
Take my hand so that I can take you there, somehow, somewhere.
Take my hand so we can see a vision and trust the process.
Take my hand so we can imagine beautiful dreams together.
Take my hand so when we walk heavy roads we will feel free.  
Take my hand so you will never feel alone or powerless.  
Take my hand so you hear beautiful music in the air.
Take my hand even when you feel like your world is falling apart.
Even when you feel some type of way about anything. When all hope is gone and you don’t have nothing else to look for, just take my hand, and hold on....
